The vandalised temple was a samadhi of popular Hindu Saint Shri Paramhans Ji Maharaj situated in Teri Village of Karak District. Another temple Krishna Dwara Mandir also got vandalised by the mob for allegedly using extra land while reconstructing the Temple.

The same temple was earlier attacked and demolished in the year 1997. Now after years, the temple was again being reconstructed after the Supreme Court of Pakistan passed an order in 2015.
According to the Pakistan Police, this incident was the outcome of a misunderstanding over the land allotted to the temple for reconstruction. The destruction caused to the temple has caused an outage in Pakistan. Hindu Women in Pakistan are out on the roads protesting against the attack. Human Rights Minister of Pakistan Shireen Mazari also tweeted condemning the act.
