A case has been registered based on a complaint filed by the Karnataka Maratha Welfare Association (KMWA) and investigations are on to identify those who were involved in the act, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) M.N. Anucheth.
On December 17 morning, a group of people gathered in front of the statue, shouting slogans. According to eyewitness accounts, they threw ink on the statue before leaving the spot.
