It is yet to be ascertained who vandalised Ambedkar’s statue. An investigation for the same is underway.

In a similar incident, a broken bust of Bharatiya Jana Sangh founder Syama Prasad Mukherjee was found in a pile of garbage in a godown in Madhya Pradesh on April 22.

It all started when a statue of Russian communist icon Vladimir Lenin was razed after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) swept the Left Front government out of power in the assembly elections in Tripura last month.
