Another Hindu temple vandalized in US

One more Hindu temple in the US state of Texas, third one in US has been vandalized with offensive images spray-painted on its walls. In the third such incident in the country this year, the number ‘666’ and an upside down cross was spray-painted on the door of the temple in Old Lake Highlands, North Texas.

Krishna Singh, who is on the temple’s board and discovered the graffiti, last Monday, said it was a big shock and very disturbing to the community. Dallas police sent out detectives with the gang unit who are still searching for suspects. Singh says the temple wants to add surveillance cameras, better lighting and a fence to prevent such things happening again.

This is the third such incident in the US in three months after two temples were vandalized in Washington State in February with words like “Get Out” and “Fear” scrawled on the temple walls. In addition, an Indian grandfather was left partially paralyzed after being roughed-up by police in Alabama in February.
