Chikmagaluru, October 21: A team of miscreants reportedly caused damage to Mohiuddin Juma Masjid at Kammaradi during Dasara procession of Friday night.

On Friday at 1.30 am, the miscreants came with the idol of goddess Amma and entered the masjid by breaking the gate and later, knocked the door. They called three Maulvis who were sleeping inside the masjid to open the door, it is alleged.

Though there is a traditional belief that the people who carry the goddess will go along with the goddess wherever it goes, it is suspected that they have planned to ignite the communal violence. The allegation justifies the incident as it was happened during by-election time. Though masjid management has lodged a complaint at Hariharapura police station, the incident was solved with the compromise of the temple leaders, it is said.

Meanwhile, the miscreants have admitted to their mistake. They have recorded their act in the mobile and posted it in the social media and it has gone viral now.
