BJP MLA Chintamani Malviya Slams Police, Mahakal Temple Management Over FIR Against Devotees And Four Youths' Deaths In MP's Ujjain

Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh): BJP MLA and former Ujjain MP Chintamani Malviya has criticised Ujjain police and the Mahakaleshwar Temple Management Committee for recent incidents tarnishing the city's reputation. In a Facebook post, Malviya questioned the registration of an FIR against four devotees accused of disrupting temple arrangements, alleging that devotees had faced assault and humiliation from police.

He accused the temple management of allowing bouncers to control the temple, failing to respect devotees' sentiments. Malviya demanded action from public representatives, priests, and temple authorities. He also questioned the alleged inaction against Shree Ganga Hotel owner following the deaths of four Scheduled Caste Valmiki youths, who allegedly died due to the hotel's negligence.

Malviya pointed out that the hotel owner had received Rs 30 lakh as blood money, questioning its legality and the police's decision. He further alleged that the hotel reopened after just three days, despite the severity of the incident. Malviya demanded an explanation for the alleged police inaction and suspicion of possible influence.
