Sambhal (UP): In a bizarre incident, a drunken man toppled Lord Hanuman's idol in Sambhal district's Ashoknagar area on Tuesday late in the night. The accused, in police custody, expressed his displeasure about not getting what he prayed for. The man was nabbed by the police on Wednesday. He was identified as Vikram Thakur. A video of the accused, pleading, has surfaced from the police station where he is claiming that he believes in Hanuman and that he had a 'quarrel' with god under the influence of alcohol.
Accused Thakur, while pleading to a police official, said, "I worship God a lot and even after that, my wife and children had left me. I accept my mistake and I will never consume alcohol again. I will also get the idol repaired." Subsequently, Superintendent of Police Chakresh Mishra, while talking to the media, said that the police rushed to the spot immediately after they were informed about the incident.
