After a Muslim kid was caught on CCTV peeing on a statue of the Goddess annapurna at Nageshwar temple on Friday, May 2, tensions increased in Pune, Maharashtra's Paud village. The accused Chand Shaikh, 19, and his father, Naushad Shaikh, 44, were beaten by irate residents and taken to the police station.
 
According to reports, Naushad made fun of the onlookers by saying, "You Hindus can't do anything to us." During a protest march on Saturday, May 3, the people denounced Chand Shaikh's heinous deed.  During the march, they yelled "Pakistan Murdabad" and "Jai Shri Ram."
 

According to Santosh Girigosavi, senior inspector of the Paud police station, Chand Shaikh's father used derogatory language with his family after they told them about his behavior. According to sources, Chand Shaikh and his father are the targets of a case that the Paud police have filed.  The situation is still being investigated.

Shivaji Waghvale, a Paud resident, lodged a complaint at the Paud police station over the issue.  He claimed that Chand Naushad Shaikh, the accused, entered the Nageshwar temple, removed the idol of the deity, and desecrated it, as shown in the CCTV footage.  After that, locals visited his house to speak with his father.  However, according to the police, the boy's father mistreated them and spoke menacingly.
