Natore: A three-member committee has been formed to investigate the desecration of six Hindu idols of a temple in Gurudashpur headquaters.

Additional police super Munshi Shahab Uddin will lead the committee.

Meanwhile, some local Hindu community people formed a human chain in front of Natore Press Club protesting the incident on Saturday morning.

They demanded arrest and punishment of the criminals.

Earlier a group of masked miscreants swooped on the Chanchkoir Kacharibari Kali Mandir (temple) and damaged six idols early Friday, the day of immersion of the idols.

The attackers also beat up an ansar member who was performing security duty at the temple during the incident.

Angered by the incident, local Hindu community people burst into protests on roads, besieged Gurudaspur Police Station and staged blockade at various points by setting tyres afire.
