A Shiv Ling near the Draksharamam temple in Andhra Pradesh was allegedly vandalised, leading to the apprehension of an accused, Seelam Srinivas. Police investigations, aided by CCTV footage, suggest the motive was a personal dispute with a local priest over construction and drainage issues, rather than an organized communal act. A new Shiv Ling has been reinstalled, and authorities are enhancing security. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has directed officials to ensure severe punishment for those responsible.
