INDORE/UJJAIN: A mob smashed a statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel with a tractor in Makadon town of Ujjain district, and pummelled it with stones and sticks on Thursday morning after it was surreptitiously placed at a spot where Malviya community members wanted to install a statue of BR Ambedkar.
The desecration of Sardar Patel’s statue led to a violent clash between the two groups in which several people, including a police officer and a constable were injured, and a vehicle was burnt.
Makadon police station in charge Bhim Singh Devda was suspended for alleged ‘lackadaisical attitude’ in the case.
