Mangalore, Mar 16: Unidentified miscreants pelted stones at a mosque at Montepadavu that comes under Konaje police station limits late night on Saturday March 15.
The miscreants threw stones at Al Madrasatul Badriya Mosque and broke its window panes.
It is said the incident came to light when Abubakker, who stays close to the mosque, came out of his house on hearing sounds of glass breaking.
Secretary of the mosque committee Khader was then informed about the incident and he in turn filed a complaint with the Konaje police.
Locals said that unidentified men were spotted riding around the area in a bike, and expressed suspicion that they might have been the culprits.
Police commissioner R Hitendra, ACP Pawan Nejoor and Konaje SI Gopalkrishna Bhat visited the spot and investigated.
Minister U T Khadar, who is also the local MLA, also visited the mosque and urged the police to arrest the culprits soon and take strict action against them.
