Residents of Neelkanth Colony Phase-3 in Rudrapur have accused the colonizer of removing the idol of the deity from the colony temple overnight and immersing it. According to Dainik Bhaskar, residents say the idol was removed without anyone's consent or knowledge, and that this was done with the intention of taking over the temple. On Tuesday (November 10) afternoon, a large number of residents reached Rudrapur kotwali with office-bearers and workers of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Tikait), raised slogans and demanded a fair probe and action from SSI Mahesh Kandpal. The SSI assured them of a probe and action as per rules. BKU's Durgesh Kumar said there would be an agitation against the colonizer if the idol was not reinstalled and no action was taken. The colonizer's side has not come out in the report.
