Mangalore, 25 Jun 2012: Unidentified miscreants vandalised flower pots, and lighting fixtures at Holy Hill at Capitanio near Mahavir Circle here in the intervening night of Sunday and early hours of Monday.

 

Holy Hill is a prayer facility open from 6am to 7pm each day and the incident, which police described as an ’act of mischief’ was carried out after the prayer service had ended on Sunday. The miscreants however did not damage any religious symbol.

 

 

City Police commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh who visited the spot along with deputy commissioner of police (Crime and Traffic) D Dharmaiah told TOI that the incident took place after the prayer service last night and police learnt about the incident at 9.30am. Stating that it is too premature to pinpoint the motives or reasons or persons behind the incident, he said the priority was to identify the culprits first and other details would then follow.

 

Noting that there are various religious places belonging to all communities under City Police limits, Seemant said it is humanly impossible to police all of them. "Miscreants, who want to foment trouble, take advantage of this situation and indulge in acts of vandalism," Seemant said, adding notwithstanding these limitations, police would further strengthen patrolling at night and keep religious institutions under special focus during patrolling.

 

Warning that police would deal with such miscreants harshly, Seemant said the miscreants had not caused any damage to the Holy Cross atop Holy Hill. Ravish Naik, Police Inspector, Mangalore Rural Police Station said a case has been registered in Mangalore Rural Police Station under sections 427 (mischief causing damage to amount of Rs 50) and 447 (Criminal Trespass) of IPC and Prevention of Destruction and Loss of Property Act.
