Authorities on Sunday demolished part of a building constructed illegally on land belonging to a temple, allegedly by the father-son duo arrested for stabbing 10 RSS workers during a Sharad Purnima event on the temple premises ago three days old.

Naseeb Chaudhary, his son Bheesham Chaudhary and some others attacked the RSS workers with “knives and other weapons” during the ‘jagran’ program on Thursday evening. There was an altercation after residents objected to noise and crowds in their neighborhood at late hours.
