Police intensify probe into vandalism at Hampi
The Bellary police has intensified their investigation into the vandalism at the UNESCO world heritage site in Hampi of Karnataka, an official said.
A carved stone pillar at Hampi was allegedly damaged by miscreants and the video of it has gone viral on social media.
The clip, which surfaced Saturday, purportedly showed three men pushing the artistically carved stone pillar to the ground, following which it breaks and the trio rejoice.
Other damaged pillars are also shown lying around, but it was not immediately clear whether the men in the video had damaged it.
A person from Betul in Madhya Pradesh shared the videos on Instagram under an identity 'DigitalAyush'. However the account was deleted ever since the video went viral.
Arun Rangarajan, the SP of Bellary under which Hampi falls, said, "Three teams have been formed to nab the culprits. We have sufficient leads in this case and they will be arrested soon."
