Raja Ranjit Singh's Lahore statue vandalised for the second time.

LAHORE -- The statue of Punjab's former ruler Raja Ranjit Singh, located near his grave at Lahore's Royal Fort, has again been vandalised, a year after it was first damaged.

A young man allegedly broke the arm of the Maharaja's statue, following which the police arrested him and registered a case.

According to police, the suspect hails from Lahore's Harbanspura.

Talking about the incident, the fort's security guard claimed that the man had suddenly jumped over the barrier to reach Singh's statue.

The attacker, reportedly exclaiming "why has the statue been installed in the fort", proceeded to damage the sculpture.

After the suspect broke the arm of the statue, the security guards caught him and handed him over to the police.

Last year in August, two men had allegedly vandalised the statue, media had reported.

Both men went straight to the statue and started hitting it...
