The accused has been booked under Damage to Public Property Act.
According to the police, Babul Shamalda belongs to Pakistan and was caught when he was found to be staying in India illegally. He had been brought to JIC for interrogation in the case.
"He was brought to JIC today. He went to answer nature's call. From there, he jumped into the computer room and destroyed computers and photocopying machines kept in the room. Initial estimates put the property damaged at Rs 26,000," a Bhuj police official told PTI.
Baloch said he has been kept at the JIC where he will be grilled thoroughly to establish the motive behind his act.
