Truth
Vidyasagar’s (Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar CIE, born Ishwar Chandra Bandyopadhyay, was a Bengali polymath from the Indian subcontinent, and a key figure of the Bengal Renaissance. He was a philosopher, academic educator, writer, translator, printer, publisher, entrepreneur, reformer and philanthropist – Src Wikipedia) bust has been vandalized recently and the “who-did-it” case is going on.
The camera placed above the glass box covering the Vidyasagar bust appeared broken and the wires disconnected; cameras outside the room not working eitherhttps://t.co/HlnF8jhNyJ

The photos are from year 2015, Mosul museum, North Iraq
The Guardian –
“Islamic State militants ransacked Mosul’s central museum, destroying priceless artefacts that are thousands of years old, in the group’s latest rampage which threatens to upend millennia of coexistence in the Middle East.
The destruction of statues and artefacts that date from the Assyrian and Akkadian empires, revealed in a video published by Isis on Thursday, drew ire from the international community and condemnation by activists and minorities that have been attacked by the group.”
