A centuries-old shrine in Gouripur Upazila of Mymensingh has been vandalised, with attackers also throwing human waste inside the premises, police say.

The incident took place on Thursday night at the shrine of Shahjahan Uddin , Gouripur Police chief Kamrul Hasan said.

Locals said several devotees visited the shrine early on Friday morning and found the boundary of the main structure broken and scattered on the ground.

They also saw human excrement and cow dung scattered at several spots inside the shrine.

Local resident Faruk Ahmed said the exact age of the shrine is difficult to determine, but devotees visit it regularly to perform religious practices in their own way.    �"bdnews24
