Hyderabad: Two women, who allegedly desecrated the idol of a goddess at a pandal erected at Khairatabad, were detained by the Saifabad police here on Tuesday. In their early twenties, the suspects were identified by the police with the help of the footage from the surveillance camera collected from spot.

Central Zone DCP M.Rajesh Chandra said the young sisters who were allegedly mentally unstable have been behaving in similar manner for quite many days and were being treated too. They were kept under constant supervision by the elders in the house.

However on Tuesday afternoon, by hoodwinking their family members, the two escaped from the house and went to the pandal nearby and using a blunt object damaged the deity’s idol. When the local residents noticed this and tried to stop, they allegedly tried to attack the locals too.

Based on a complaint, the Saifabad police have booked a case under various sections. They have not placed the women under arrest yet.

“As their brother claims the women to be mentally unstable and have done such acts earlier too, we will refer them to the government hospital for a medical examination. Based on the outcome and expert opinion, further necessary action will be taken against them,” the DCP said.
