After Periyar, BR Ambedkar's statue vandalised in Tamil Nadu
Dr BR Ambedkar's statue was defaced with red paint in Tamil Nadu's Tiruvottiyur on Thursday, two days after Dravidian leader Periyar's statue was vandalised in Vellore. The accused reportedly fled before police could reach the site. This comes amid a series of incidents involving vandalism of statues, which began after communist icon Lenin's statue was razed in Tripura.
