The statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar at the Ambedkar Park was vandalised by some miscreants in the Budaun district of Uttar Pradesh. Tension mounted in the Ujhani locality of the district as local people mostly from the Dalit community staged a protest on January 3 demanding action against the culprits.
A team from the Ujhani police station reached the spot and assured the demonstrators that action would be taken against the perpetrators. They also said that the statue would be reinstalled and cameras would be set up in the park to prevent such incidents.
