MARGAO
In an incident that came as a shock to the parishioners, a lone miscreant vandalised the flower pots placed in front of the Holy Spirit Church Margao on late Sunday.
The miscreant was later admitted in the Hospicio hospital with fractured injures he reportedly sustained in an accident while trying to flee from the spot. The incident occurred on late Sunday when the miscreant went about damaging the flower pots in front of the Church.
He is also believed to have thrown down a motorcycle and some chairs.
Holy Spirit Church Fabrica treasurer Vincent Gracias, who along with Parish Priest Fr Amandio Valladares inspected the place, said the damage caused by the accused has been captured on the CCTV cameras.
He said a Lady police officer has confirmed that the photo of the accused person matches with the person reportedly injured in an accident on the road.
Gracias said the damage is the handiwork of a drunkard person, who vandalised the pots in an inebriated state.
Fatorda police station in charge PI Kapil Nayak informed that the accused, reportedly belonging to the labour class, was in a drunken state. He said the accused has sustained fractured leg injuries and is convalescing at the Hospital.
The police is investigating.
