Hyderabad: A man from Uttar Pradesh was arrested on Saturday after he was accused of vandalizing Navagraha idols and the shikaram of the Sri Abaya Anjaneya Swamy Temple in Laxmareddypalem at Hayathnagar in Rangareddy district.

He was a painter by profession. On 2 August 2021, he went to BN Reddy Nagar Vanasthalipuram by mistake when he wanted to go to Laxmareddypalem.
