Khanna: Hindu organizations burst out in anger against the breaking of Shivling during the theft incident at Shivpuri temple in Khanna, Punjab. In anger, the Delhi-Amritsar National Highway was blocked, which was opened after five hours. Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, and Sukhbir Badal, reached the protest going on on the National Highway. They raised questions on law and order.
Meanwhile, SHO Rao Varinder Singh of City Police Station 1 has been suspended. He has been accused of misbehaviour. DIG has assured to arrest the accused by Sunday.

Here the thieves not only committed theft but also broke the Shivling with a hammer. Hindu organizations raised questions about the working style of the police and expressed anger over the incident.
The theft incident was captured on CCTV. Two thieves are seen on the CCTV. They break the silver on the Shivling and steal it. During this, they also break the Shivling. After this, they break the lock and steal the crown from the idol of Hanuman inside the temple.
They also steal gold and silver ornaments from other idols and run away. This came to light when the temple was opened early this morning. There is a lot of anger among the people about such an incident in the month of Shravan.
