Jammu Kashmir Police on Saturday detained 26 people after the national emblem installed on a renovation plaque at the Hazratbal Dargah in Srinagar was vandalised, India Today reported.
Officials said CCTV footage from the site showed several individuals involved in defacing the emblem. Based on the evidence, police identified and took them into custody for questioning.
The installation of the emblem on the Dargah’s plaque had triggered strong resentment among local leaders and worshippers, which ultimately led to the act of vandalism.
The incident has sparked a wider debate on the appropriateness of placing the national symbol at a religious site.
Police said the investigation is ongoing.
