UP chairman arrested for vandalising temple

Police arrested a chairman of Gangachara sadar union parishad Aftabuzzaman Saturday night in a case filed in connection with the attack on the Dakshin Baraipara Temple in the upazila.

Mashiur Rahman, acting officer-in-charge of Gangachara police station under Rangpur district, said that the UP chairman entered the temple and ordered to stop the work.

As the temple committee members denied to stop the work, he became enraged and kicked off most of the work under construction.

Kanak Roy, general secretary of the temple committee, filed a case against the chairman with the Gangachara police station.

The chairman was produced before a court on Sunday, the OC added.
