Ujjain, 22 November (IANS). There was a ruckus during the Bhasma Aarti at the Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. Two employees who had come for darshan from the court were trying to enter the temple illegally. The temple employees opposed this. Then an altercation started between the two. After this, the altercation soon turned into a fight. This created an atmosphere of chaos in the temple. The devotees somehow completed the process of Bhasma Aarti with great difficulty, so that there is no hindrance in the further process. CCTV footage of this incident has also surfaced. It can be clearly seen how a fight is taking place between the two parties.
Temple employee Om Yogi has claimed that on November 22, at 3 am, court employees Mohan Ajmeri and Sonu Jatwa had come to visit the temple.
Actually, an attempt was being made to take 19 people inside the temple without RFID bands.
Meanwhile, when he was stopped, the dispute started. After this the dispute turned into a fight.
The temple administration has recently implemented RFID band system for smooth entry of the devotees, so that the devotees do not face any problem in entering the temple. But now, the way the issue of illegal entry has come to light, serious questions have been raised on the system of temple administration.
Ujjain District Magistrate Neeraj Kumar Singh has expressed displeasure over this incident. He said that we will properly investigate this matter and whoever is found guilty, legal action will be taken against him.
Temple administrator Ganesh Dhakad said that only 10 people were allowed to visit the temple at a time. But, 19 people were taken inside. After this, a situation of fighting broke out between both the parties.
It is noteworthy that three-four months ago, a security guard of Mahakal temple had tried to get some people to participate in Bhasma Aarti illegally. After this the police arrested him.
