A fifty-year-old Hanuman temple located in Mopati Bazaar under Sikarhta police station area was demolished late at night by unknown anti-social elements with a JCB machine. This temple was not only a religious place, but has also been the center of faith of the local people. As soon as the news of the temple being demolished spread, there was a stir

It is being told that the incident happened late at night when most of the people were sleeping in their homes. During this time, anti-social elements demolished the temple with the help of a JCB machine. When the local people came to know about this incident in the morning, there was a stir in the village. A crowd of people gathered and the angry villagers blocked the Bihta-Piro main road.
