Priest suspended for performing special puja with Dharsan's photo in temple's sanctum sanctorum

Live Hindi News :- The priest who placed a photo of actor Darshan, arrested and jailed in a murder case in Karnataka, inside the sanctum sanctorum of a temple has been suspended. Kannada actor Darshan was arrested last June in connection with the murder of his friend Pavithra Gowda, who had accused Sindhiya Renukaswamy on social media. A Bengaluru court rejected the bail plea of ​​Darshan, who is lodged in Bengaluru Central Jail. His family and fans have performed a special puja to get bail.

In this case, Mallikarjuna Swamy Darshan, the priest of Thotta Basaveshwara temple in Bellary district, placed a picture of Swami Darshan along with the deities in the sanctum sanctorum and performed puja. Its video was released on social media and a controversy arose. A devotee named Someshwar, while talking to the media, said, “This temple has a long history and glory. The actions of Dhanudhar Mallikarjuna Swamy brought disrepute to the temple.
It is not acceptable to put a criminal arrested in a foeticide case on a par with God. Strict action should be taken against Archak Mallikarjuna Swamy for hurting the sentiments of devotees. After this, the Hindu Charitable Department has ordered the suspension of priest Mallikarjuna Swamy.
