India-West that the vandalism occurred on Jan. 26 night â Republic Day â during a heavy storm in which most of the university town was out of power. The vandals sawed off the feet, which toppled the statue â a $22,000 bronze gifted by the Indian government and erected in 2016 â and then sawed off half the head.
City workers arriving at the scene the following morning found the statue on the ground.
Doroshov said the destroyed statue is now with the Davis Police Department, and is being held as evidence. âThis is an active investigation. We donât know who did this or why, but we are taking it very seriously and following up on all leads,â he said, adding that the incident constitutes felony vandalism.
