Indian cultural centre vandalised

Melbourne : Priceless items, including 500-year-old manuscripts, were destroyed at an Indian cultural centre in Woolgoolga township of New South Wales, a report said on Friday.

In the incident that took place at Woolgoolga's Raj Mahal Indian Cultural Centre, which has a large Indian ethnic community, a 200-year-old king's sword was used to destroy Indian paintings, musical instruments and statues collected over the past 25 years.

Also destroyed was a 1.3 square metre marble replica of the Taj Mahal, which cost the owner, Salinder Singh Salindera, 45,000 Australian dollars, the Australian Associated Press said today. — PTI
