Miscreants Vandalise Mahatma Gandhi’s Statue In New York City

New York: Miscreants have toppled and smashed a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in front of a temple in New York. This is the second attack on the memorial this month.

The incident, which occurred in the early hours of August 16, was the latest in a series of attacks on Gandhi statues in the United States.

Six men destroyed the statue at the Sri Tulsi Mandir with a sledgehammer and painted hate-filled words around it and on the road, according to media reports quoting police.

The statue of Mahatma Gandhi had been vandalised earlier on August 3 and knocked over, reports said.

Police also released a surveillance video of the men, aged 25 to 30, suspected of being involved in the attack.
