Eggs thrown at Durga idol sparks protest and arrests in Hyderabad

In Hyderabad, police were notified by a Dial 100 call that individuals had thrown eggs at a Durga Mata idol during an immersion procession near the Santosh Nagar hotel line, falling under Madanapet police station limits. Responding quickly, officers reached the site, registered a formal case and arrested the suspected participants. Hindu organisations later organized a protest to condemn the alleged act.

Investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the egg-throwing. The incident follows a recent stone-pelting event at a Durga Visarjan procession in Washim, Maharashtra, which also led to an FIR and police intervention. Authorities have indicated that the area is now calm while the probe proceeds.
