Days after a video allegedly showing a damaged statue of Maharana Pratap in Qudesia Park surfaced, a large group of demonstrators staged a protest on Sunday, demanding immediate reinstallation of a new statue of the Rajput warrior.
The undated video clip that went viral on social media showed the statue with a broken sword and a damaged hand evoking an outrage among community members and history enthusiasts.
