The police have arrested the young man responsible for the vandalism and initiated legal proceedings against him. The arrested individual justified his actions by alleging that the government vehicle was being used for private purposes. He claimed that despite warning the minister the previous day to refrain from personal use of government resources, his advice was ignored, prompting today’s aggressive response.

This event highlights ongoing tensions between public officials and citizens concerning the misuse of government assets. The authorities are urged to investigate the matter thoroughly and ensure that public resources are used appropriately to prevent such incidents in the future.
