The wrath of Shiva: Three Muslim miscreants defiled Koragajja Devasthana. One has died and others surrendered

In a bizarre yet intriguing incident that has come to light from Karnataka’s Mangaluru, two people were arrested after surrender in front of the police after desecrating the local temple belonging to Manguluru deity Lord Koragajja, revered as the incarnation of Lord Shiva. The two Muslim youths have been identified as Raheem (32) and Taufiq (35) and they, along with their friend Nawaz, had put a condom in the ‘Daan peti’ and urinated inside the Temple complex.

While the trio had their share of evil fun attempting the desecration of the temple, their happiness didn’t last long. After the incident, the devotees of the temple lodged a complaint to the police. However, the police were not able to find the culprits who did the unholy deed.

But here came the mother of all twists in the story as chronicled by Chiru Bhat, a local journalist. In an elaborate tweet thread posted on his wall, Chiru mentioned that for the last 3-4 days, two Muslim men were coming to the temple priest and incessantly asking for forgiveness. However, the temple priest thought it was one of the jokes of the minority community and ignored them. Finally, the duo confessed their scandalous crime at the temple and surrendered themselves to the people there who later turned them over to the police.

The reason behind Raheem and Taufiq’s surrender is rather astonishing. According to the duo, their third partner, Nawaz, who had dropped the condom, and was the main conspirator, apparently died under mysterious circumstances. Soon after his crime, Nawaz started acting insane, which then turned into blood vomiting and dysentery. Finally, Nawaz died by banging his own head on a wall, his last words being that Lord Koragajja is angry with the culprits.

“Nawaz was also involved in this unholy incident. He reportedly also claimed to perform black magic. When Nawaz fell ill, he advised friends to confess their crime.” said Mangaluru Police Commissioner N Shashi Kumar. The culprits have been arrested under section 153(A) of IPC and the police has started gathering evidence of the incident by going through the CCTV footage.

The chain of events didn’t stop here as Nawaz’s friend and hombre-in-crime, Taufiq also started showing similar symptoms like vomiting blood. Sensing that history was repeating itself, both Taufiq and Raheem ran for their life and landed at the feet of the temple priest and eventually confessed to their crime, seeking forgiveness from Lord Koragajja.

“Accused Raheem and Taufiq were in touch with the priest of a Koragajja Katte located at Yemmekere ground to confess their mistake. They were called during the ‘Nemotsava’ where they confessed about involving in the heinous act,” the police commissioner added.

It is also being investigated that the trio had attempted similar desecration attempts at three other places as the modus operandi looks similar.

“The objective behind the act is not yet known. We are probing it. As per the primary investigation, they have committed the act in three places. The modus operandi looks similar. We need to verify the handwritten content as well. Both the accused voluntarily contacted the priest to confess,” the police commissioner said.

The devotees of Lord Koragajja claim that their god is known for providing swift justice and, by the looks of it, the trio was served some efficient, old-school justice. Whatever your faith be, the incident does have some connection to the astral powers. Surely, science might be able to explain the reason behind Nawaz’s death, but for now, the devotees seem elated that their god has helped turn in the perpetrators of the ungodly incident.
