Muslim prisoner uses soaps to craft beautiful idols of Hindu gods - The Times of India: "Lodged in Agra central jail since December 2014, he has made a dozen of beautiful idols, including Hanuman's mace, an idol of Bharat Mata, goddess Durga and Ashokan pillar too. This year, he prepared one foot tall idols of Lakshmi and Ganesh, which will be used for Diwali Puja in the jail this year.
"I kidnapped a businessman from Etah in 2001. My five other friends were also involved. But they managed to trick the court and I failed. All the others were freed while the judge awarded me life imprisonment in September 2010," said Firoz.
According to him, he was depressed when he began his jail term in 2010. "In the time of loneliness, I met a fellow prisoner who was a follower of goddess Durga. He enlightened me and showed me the right path which is to seek forgiveness from the lord. I used my bathing bar provided to me by the jail administration and made a small statue of the goddess. Within a few days, I started stealing all the soaps to satisfy my creative urge," he said. "
