Buddha statue vandalised in Batticaloa

A statue of Buddha, erected recently in Batticaloa, was found smashed on the ground on Wednesday, reported Tamilwin.

The statue had been removed from its glass casing before being smashed, said the police, who have initiated an inquiry into the incident. The pieces have been collected by the police for further investigation.

According to Tamilwin, the statue was erected following the end of the armed conflict, whilst most of the Tamil residents were detained within internment camps.
