A gang of Muslims attempted to force their way inside the Trimbakeshwar Mandir and place a Chadar on the holy Shivling but were foiled by vigilant security guards. The event has raised worries, and the Brahmin Mahasabha has urged that the police conduct a thorough inquiry. It is worth noting that the Trimbakeshwar Mandir, also known as the Jyotirlinga Mandir, is a cherished Hindu pilgrimage site.
According to accounts, Muslim participants in the urs procession attempted to barge into the Trimbakeshwar temple grounds and lay a chadar on the hallowed Shivling. The forcible entry attempt was foiled by attentive security officers and temple authorities.
The occurrence led to heightened tension within the premises, but prompt intervention by both the police and the temple management helped alleviate the situation. Besides, there has been a demand for legal action against the group of Muslims involved in the incident. The Brahmin Mahasangh expressed their intention to stage protests if the police did not take appropriate action within a reasonable timeframe.
The administrative officer of the Shri Trimbakeshwar Devasthan Trust sent a letter to the Trimbakeshwar police inspector, detailing an incident that occurred on May 13 at approximately 9:41 PM. According to the letter, during the procession of the urus near the north gate of the Shri Trimbakeshwar Mandir, certain participants from the urus attempted to enter the temple premises. However, the security personnel from the Maharashtra police promptly intervened and prevented the Muslims from gaining entry.
The letter also emphasizes the longstanding tradition of allowing only Hindus to enter the Mandir. It acknowledges that the incident has the potential to cause social disturbances. On behalf of the members of the Devasthan Trust, the administrative officer urges the police to acknowledge the incident and initiate an investigation. Additionally, the administrative officer requests that legal measures be taken against the perpetrators and preventive measures be implemented to avert similar incidents in the future.
