It has been five days since unidentified miscreants desecrated an idol of Mother Mary on the premises of Stella Maris School in Vadgaon Sheri in the wee hours last Wednesday. The school authorities are yet to register a police complaint, as the nuns fear retaliation by those involved in the act of vandalism.

According to the nuns, last Wednesday, when they approached the idol to offer prayers, they discovered that the idol had been defaced and its arms broken. The idol has now been restored and placed in a glass box.
