Ganesh idol stolen in Hyderabad

In Hyderabad, laddus kept as prasadam alongside Ganesh statues are occasionally stolen, although the theft of the Ganesh idol itself is unusual.

And that’s exactly what took place late on Monday night in Hayathnagar when three men lifted and fled away with a Ganesh idol that was kept for sale at a roadside stand.

Three anonymous young people are shown in a video of the incident, which went viral on social media on Tuesday, picking up an idol from a stall on one side of the street, carrying it calmly through oncoming traffic, and then escaping the scene in an auto-trolley. Below is the viral video. Check out the video:

The incident, which was captured on nearby security cameras, has raised questions about whether the men grabbed it because they could not purchase an idol or whether they intended to sell it and make profit from it.

Despite receiving information about the event, the Hayathnagar police stated that no formal report had yet been registered against that incident.

Moreover, a similar incident happened earlier in Mayiladuthurai in which two individuals were arrested in Mayiladuthurai, and they had four stolen idols, jewellery, and valuables on them that were worth several lakhs of rupees.

Among the retrieved items, there was a headless and limbless Shri Rajarajeshwari idol weighing around 15 kg and measuring 0.75 feet in height, a twin idol weighing eight kg and standing half a foot in height, a one-foot-tall bronze Aiyyappan idol, which was about 35 kg in weight.

In February 2020, the Ganesha idol was stolen from the Pillaiyar temple in Sivaramapuram near the Cauvery. In December 2020, the Aiyyappan deity was stolen from the Mariamman temple in Thiruvalankadu near the Manjalaru.

In January 2021, the headless and limbless Amman idol as well as the metal twin idols were stolen from the Sri Ragavendra Mutt in Sivaramapuram.

In October 2021, burglars took some of the jewellery from a home in Sivaramapuram.

After spending nearly 11 hours before the Enforcement Directorate, TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee said he would not bow to the BJP and accused the ruling party of using investigative agencies for political purposes.

Abhishek Banerjee

Trinamool Congress leader and Diamond Harbour MP Abhishek Banerjee on Tuesday said he would not bow to the BJP after spending nearly 11 hours being questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with an ongoing investigation.

Speaking after the questioning, Banerjee alleged that central agencies were being used to target opposition leaders and asserted that he would continue his political fight despite what he described as sustained pressure.

The TMC leader has repeatedly maintained that investigations involving him are politically motivated, a charge he has made on several previous occasions while appearing before central agencies.

His appearance before the ED comes amid a period of heightened political activity and multiple investigations involving leaders in West Bengal. Recent days have also seen Banerjee face summons and questioning in separate matters by state investigative agencies.

After leaving the ED office, Banerjee reiterated that he would not be intimidated and said he remained committed to his political responsibilities. He also accused the BJP of attempting to weaken opposition parties through investigative action, an allegation that the BJP has rejected in the past.

The Enforcement Directorate has not publicly commented on Banerjee’s remarks. The investigation related to the questioning remains ongoing.

DMK attacks Rahul Gandhi, accuses him of weakening opposition unity

DMK has intensified its criticism of Rahul Gandhi, alleging that the Congress leader’s actions have weakened opposition unity and strained relations within the INDIA bloc.

Rahul-Gandhi

The war of words between the DMK and Congress has intensified, with the DMK launching a strong attack on Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and accusing him of contributing to divisions within the opposition alliance. The criticism comes amid strained ties between the two parties following their political split in Tamil Nadu.

According to the DMK, Rahul Gandhi’s political approach has weakened unity among opposition parties. The party’s IT wing mocked the Congress leader on social media, while an editorial published in the DMK’s official mouthpiece Murasoli questioned his recent remarks on opposition solidarity.

DMK questions Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on opposition unity

In its editorial, Murasoli argued that Rahul Gandhi was speaking about opposition unity despite, according to the DMK, contributing to disagreements among alliance partners in several states. The publication cited criticism directed at Congress by various opposition parties and suggested that the party’s actions had often created tensions within the INDIA bloc.

The editorial also referred to past political disputes involving Congress and Left parties, particularly in Kerala, claiming such episodes had raised concerns among opposition allies about Congress’s approach toward its partners.

Tamil Nadu political fallout adds to tensions

The attack comes after a major political realignment in Tamil Nadu. Following the 2026 Assembly elections, Congress ended its alliance with the DMK and joined the government led by Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The move left the DMK in the opposition and significantly altered the political equation between the two former allies.

The DMK has alleged that Congress benefited from the alliance during the election and later abandoned its partner. The party’s editorial questioned whether assurances from Congress leadership would be trusted by alliance partners after the developments in Tamil Nadu.

Congress rejects allegations

Congress has not issued a detailed official response to the editorial, but party sources have rejected the allegations. According to the party, its decisions in Tamil Nadu were made in line with the mandate delivered by voters and were not intended to undermine either the DMK or the broader opposition alliance.

The latest exchange highlights growing strains between two key opposition parties even as leaders continue to stress cooperation on national issues. Just days earlier, Rahul Gandhi had said that the DMK remained aligned with the opposition on defending the “idea of India” despite political differences.
