Soon the photos of the vandalised street went viral and a complaint was filed at the Kamakshipalya police station.

Police Investigation Underway

Sanjeev Patil, DCP West, said that a case has been registered and that investigation is underway.

"We are also looking at video footage captured by CCTV cameras installed here. As of now, we found two bike-borne men with a huge food delivery bag to be making rounds near the school. We are yet to identify and trace them," he added.

A team of Bengaluru police from Kamakshipalya are investigating the incident.

An officer with the investigating team told The Quint, "The school authorities are suspecting this to be a work of a student who might have been upset over a personal issue not being resolved."

The police also said that the act of vandalism constitutes an offence under the Karnataka Open Places (Prevention of Disfigurement) Act.
