Nashik witnessed three clashes between devotees and security guards at the Trimbakeshwar Temple over two days during the Diwali holidays. The temple, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, has seen disputes involving crowd management and darshan arrangements. A recent incident featuring a devotee and a woman security guard has gone viral on social media, raising concerns about temple security.
Three incidents involving altercations and assaults occurred within the temple premises, with one involving a man recording a video and a female security guard. The woman guard lodged a complaint at the Trimbakeshwar Police Station after devotees allegedly refused to leave the assembly hall after darshan, leading to verbal abuse and physical confrontation.
The district administration has ordered an investigation into the recent incident and requested an impartial inquiry into all complaints. Temple trustees and the district administration are under pressure to ensure proper training for security personnel, improve crowd management, and establish an effective grievance redressal mechanism to prevent reputational damage and maintain peace among devotees.
