GOALPARA: In a shocking incident, Mahatma Gandhi's statue at BOC police point in Goalpara town was vandalized and distorted on Monday night.

As the matter came to the light on Tuesday, people vehemently protested against the cowardice act and demanded immediate arrest of the culprits. Social media was flooded with messages criticizing the intention of the wrong doers.

"The right hand holding the stick and the major portion of the stick itself was found broken.
