"The government has completed the restoration work of the temple and handed it over to the local Hindu community," District Police Officer of Rahim Yar Khan Asad Sarfraz told PTI on Monday. Another official said the government has engaged workers from Hyderabad in Sindh province to make idols for the temple. Earlier, police arrested 50 suspects in what Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar called a "shameful attack" on the temple. He said the Hindu community in the area had informed the police about a possible attack, but the police did nothing. The Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) in Pakistan has also condemned the mob attack and desecration of a temple of the Hindu community, the Dawn News reported.
