See how one religious group has attacked and destroyed a temple and burned the idol of Maa Kali in Murshidabad area of West Bengal. Shameful.
However the authorities have refuted this claim. The Murshidabad police said that the mandir committee said it was a fire accident. The Temple authorities are taking necessary action and the local police and administration is coordinating.

Further the West Bengal Police has debunked the claim by the MP and posted on twitter that the claim is misleading. Legal action is being taken. Please do not get carried away by misleading, provocative and mischievous posts, the West Bengal Police also said.
