Tension prevailed Monday morning in the Padri Bazaar area here when at least 12 idols were found broken and scattered on the ground, police said.
The idols, which belonged to Natveer Baba temple and other small roadside shrines, were found lying on the ground, they said.
Police officials reached the spot and controlled the situation. They assured the people that the idols would be repaired or replaced, if required.
