This incident is being reported to have taken place at Khatu Shyam Temple in Manauna Dham of Amla police station area on 12th October. However, till now no one has given any complaint to the police in this regard.
According to the information, there is Khatu Shyam temple in Manona Dham near Amla tehsil, about 30 kilometers from Bareilly city. Every month lakhs of devotees from all over the country come to this temple. Here shopkeepers have decorated their shops on the road leading to the temple. Due to this, devotees face difficulty in visiting the temple. It is being told that about 20 days ago a woman had complained about this to Mahant Umendra Singh Chauhan. After this, when Mahant himself was going to see a patient one day, he also faced a problem.
While leaving, he asked all the shopkeepers to move back their shelves and open the way. Meanwhile, a shopkeeper tried to answer his question. Due to this the Mahant got angry and he started throwing away the shops of the shopkeepers. Along with him, his servants also tried to overthrow the shopkeepers. He also beat up a woman badly. A shopkeeper present at the spot made a video of this incident, which later went viral on social media.
On the other hand, Amla police said that the video of the incident has surfaced, but till now no one has given any complaint in this regard. On receiving the complaint, appropriate action will be taken in the matter. At the same time, Mahant has released a video on his behalf and given clarification in the matter. Said that that day a female patient had complained of getting hurt by the cot. He was going to see that patient along with the servants. During this time he had asked the shopkeepers to remove the planks installed on the road. When the throne was not removed even after returning, he became angry. In the case of assault on the woman, he said that he was blessing the woman.
