Angry At Wife Choosing Fasts Over Sex, Drunk Man Destroys Ancient Idol At Jaipur Temple
During interrogation, the man lamented that his wife’s religious rituals kept them from enjoying intimacy. The police are currently searching for his accomplice
In India, many Hindu women traditionally begin their day with prayers at the temple and performing rituals after bathing and before engaging in any other activity. Several women also observe fasts based on their vows, such as on Mondays for Lord Shiva, which is considered auspicious in Hindu families. However, a husband in Jaipur, angered by his wife’s religious devotion and fasting, went to the extreme of vandalising a temple.
The incident occurred in Punana village of Meena Ki Dhani in Jaipur, where Kamlesh Meena was arrested for vandalising a temple. Under the influence of alcohol, he entered the temple and damaged a centuries-old idol. Another individual, Makhan Lal, was also involved in the act, and police are currently searching for him.

During interrogation, Kamlesh revealed his motive. His friend, Makhan Singh, had reportedly commented on his wife’s religiousness, while Kamlesh himself did not believe in worship. He stated that his wife frequently observed fasts, making him feel distanced from her, which often led to conflicts. He reportedly lamented that his wife’s religious rituals kept them from enjoying intimacy. Frustrated by this, the accused, along with his friend, decided to vandalise the temple.
The two men targeted the Kalu Baba temple, a revered site that attracts large crowds, especially on Fridays. On the night of February 8, locals witnessed the accused entering the temple and destroying the idol. While Kamlesh has been arrested, the police are actively searching for the second suspect.
