A man, Neelam Srinivas, was apprehended for allegedly desecrating a century-old Shiva Lingam at Andhra Pradesh's Draksharamam temple. CCTV footage reportedly captured the suspect near the site during the incident. While the act sparked concerns over communal harmony, initial investigations suggest a personal motive stemming from a recent dispute with a temple priest, rather than an organized communal act. A new Shiva Lingam has been reinstalled, and authorities have increased security and pledged a transparent investigation.
