Amethi (UP), Sep 29 (PTI) Three people were detained on Saturday after members of Hindu organisations alleged desecration of pictures of some deities in Dadra village here, police said.

The SHO said they detained Gupta and two others involved in the prayers to prevent any untoward incident. Police said nothing objectionable was found.
