INCIDENT REPORT ON MUTHYALAMMA TEMPLE IN MARKET PS LIMITS In light of recent incident at Muthyalamma temple in Market PS limits, today Hindu Dharmik Sangalu organisations such as Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Bajrangdal gave a ‘bandh’ call and proposed to organise a supposedly peaceful protest rally in which over 3000 persons gathered from all over city at Muthyalamma Temple, Secunderabad. No Official permission was taken to conduct the said Rally. The crowd soon turned aggressive and split into two main groups with one group trying to proceed aggressively towards the local masjid in the area and the other moving towards Metropolis hotel with intent to vandalise the premises. Despite several attempts to defuse the situation, the unruly mob started calling for demolition of the mosque in the area and when the police resisted their attempts to move towards the mosque, the mob started pelting stones, sticks, water bottles, chappals and chairs on the police force present. This resulted in bleeding injuries to over 15 police personnel including one ACP suffering cervical injuries and head injuries to one Inspector. The local persons also tried to reason with the mob several times including the temple management but to no avail. To take the situation under control in public interest, the police resorted to lathi charge. However, the crowd gathered again and kept instigating the situation towards further violence. Additional forces were then mobilised and after repeated talks they were dispersed from the temple area. But the mob then turned against the public transport buses moving on the road and damaged two RTC buses by stone pelting. Action is being taken against the said persons. Public advisory Public are requested to cooperate with the police and avoid rumour-mongering in public interest. Two press notes were released earlier to update the public as to the status in this case and further information will be revealed as the investigation progresses.
