B. R. Ambedkar’s statue was defaced by a man in Madhya Pradesh’s Sidhi district, police said on Monday.
An official said that the incident occurred on Sunday when a middle-aged man arrived at the statue installed at a square in the city, and put red colour and some edible material on the portion of the face of the statue.
A CCTV footage shared by Sidhi District Police on its official ‘X’ handle, showed that a man carrying a small-sized bag in his hand climbed on a platform where a life-size statue of Ambedkar is installed, put color and left the spot within two minutes.
