  "account": "The Mahakal temple committee in Ujjain has imposed a fine of ₹5 lakh and suspended three security personnel following the release of a video showing BJP legislator Golu Shukla's son, Rudraksh Shukla, filming inside the restricted area of the Mahakaleshwar Temple. The video, reportedly a week old, shows Rudraksh recording on his mobile phone from the Neelkanth Dwar to the Chandi Dwar, while performing puja, abhishek, and aarti inside the temple. The temple committee has also barred Rudraksh from accessing protocol and VIP facilities for a year, limiting his entry to the temple to that of an ordinary devotee. The security company handling the temple's security has been fined and three security personnel suspended for allegedly facilitating Rudraksh's entry and attending to him under protocol.",
  "summary": "The temple committee said Rudraksh Shukla would be allowed to visit only as an ordinary devotee, without access to protocol arrangements.",
