Three men have been arrested for allegedly vandalising statues of Warkaris at Vitthal Chowk on SV Road in Dahisar West two days ago. The trio has told the police that they were drunk and felt the statues were mocking them.

The police said the suspects—Vignesh Hegde, 30, Amar Chitoriya, 25, and Sanjay Gaaru, 30—work as billboard painters and delivery boys and live at Dahisar. Warkaris worship Lord Vitthal, regarded as a form of Krishna and the presiding deity of Pandharpur.
