NIA seizes 2 more luxury SUVs linked to Sachin Vaze in Antilia Bomb Scare case, one of them owned by a Shiv Sena leader

The National Investigation Agency seized two more luxury cars in the Antilia bomb scare case, which are suspected to be linked to API Sachin Vaze. This has raised the number of vehicles seized in the case to 5, and reportedly NIA is looking to two more luxury cars.

Today NIA brought two more luxury SUVs to its office in Mumbai in connection with the case. One of the cars is a black luxury SUV, a Mercedes Benz ML 250 CDI. After that, the agency brought another high-end SUV, a white Toyota Land Cruiser Prado GRJ 120 R.

The Mercedes Benz ML 250 CDI

The Mercedes car with registration number MH43AR8697 is registered in Vashi RTO in Navi Mumbai in the name of Narmada Offshore Construction Pvt Ltd. While the Prado with registration number MH02CC101 is registered in Borivali in Mumbai, and its owner as per official records is Vijaykumar Ganpat Bhosle. It is not known how these cars are related to the case, and whether Sachin Vaze has any link with the owners of the cars.

The Land Cruiser Prado GRJ 120 R

Vijaykumar Ganpat Bhosle is a Shiv Sena leader, and in his affidavit for 2014 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election, he had listed the Toyota Prado SUV with the same number under the list of motor vehicles owned by him. He had quoted the current price of the vehicle at that time at Rs 38 lakh.

Election Affidavit of Vijaykumar Ganpat Bhosle

It may be noted that after suspension from service in a custodial death case, Sachin Vaze had joined Shiv Sena, and thus he has deep ties with the party. During the Devendra Fadnavis govt, Shiv Sena had put pressure on the govt to reinstate Vaze, but CM Fadnavis had declined it. After Shiv Sena formed the govt with the support of Congress and NCP, they reinstated Sachin Vaze despite being suspended on a court order, and soon he was handling several high profile cases.

According automobile websites, the price of the Mercedes is around Rs 55 lakh, while the Land Cruiser Prado costs almost 1 crore.

With these, NIA has seized 5 cars in the cars, which now includes two Mercedes SUVs and one Land Cruiser Prado. The first car to be seized was the Scorpio car which was found parked near the residence of Mukesh Ambani filled with gelatine sticks. It was owned by Mansukh Hiren, but was being used by Mumbai Police cop Sachin Vaze for several months, before it was returned to Hiren just days before it was found with the explosives. Soon after the discovery of the car with the explosives, Mansukh Hiren was found dead, and his wife has alleged that Sachin Vaze is behind the murder.

The second car to be seized was an Innova, which was seen in CCTV footages trailing the Scorpio before it was parked near Antilia. Although Mumbai police ‘looking’ for the car for days before the case was transferred to NIA, the NIA had found it parked in the office of the Mumbai Police commissioner.

The third car was another Mercedes SUV, which was used by Sachin Vaze. NIA found incriminating evidence in the vehicle, including the number plate of the Scorpio car, more than Rs 5 lakh in cash and a currency counting machine. Reportedly, Sachin Vaze had used the Mercedes car for his personal use with a fake number plate. This Mercedes car also costs around Rs 55 lakh.

Apart from these, NIA is reportedly looking for two more cars linked to the case, one blue Mercedes car and a Skoda car. Sachin Vaze arrested by NIA on the midnight of Saturday in connection with the case.

USA: Local judge and former president of foundation that runs ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ for children arrested on 7 counts of child pornography

Milwaukee County Children’s Court Judge Brett Blomme, who was endorsed by the LGBTQ Victory Fund for his position as a judge, was arrested on Tuesday and charged on seven counts for possessing child pornography, specifically depicting the sexual abuse of young boys.

Brett Blomme, who is 37, is also the ex-President of Cream City Foundation, a LGBTQ+ organization which is known for hosting ‘Drag Queen Story Hour‘, a highly controversial event where men dressed as women in drag attire read out stories to little children.

The charges against Brett Blomme are serious, with each count of child pornography carrying a minimum mandatory prison sentence of 3 years to as much as 15 years in prison. After spending a night in prison, Blomme has now been released through a signature bond, mandating Blomme to not use social media or file sharing services, or have unsupervised contact with children, except for his own. Brett Blomme is married to a man and has two adopted children.

The criminal complaint against Blomme details that up to 27 images and videos of minor children being sexually abused were uploaded on the messaging app Kik. The location for these uploads were tracked back to Blomme and husband’s house in Cottage Grove, Dane County.

According to the complaint, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children informed investigators about a Kik user “DomMasterbb” who was suspected of possessing and sharing child pornography. Investigators then tied the Kik account to Blomme through his personal and work emails.

Endorsed by the Democratic Party

Brett Blomme was handpicked by Democrat Milwaukee mayor Tom Barret as a candidate for the Milwaukee County Circuit Court, with Tom Barret urging fellow Democrat and Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers to put Blomme’s name forward for the opening on the Milwaukee Country Circuit Court in 2019.

Milwaukee mayor Tom Barret cited his 20 year close relationship with Brett Blomme, however Gov. Evers did not appoint him to the open position on the court. Eventually in 2020, Brett Blomme would go on to win the Milwaukee County Circuit Court Branch 5 election, being the first openly gay man to do so in Milwaukee county.

Brett Blomme’s election would not be possible without a string of ringing endorsements in his favor, the vast majority of which were Democrat endorsements. In his race, Blomme described himself as a “progressive alternative” to his opponent. To kick his campaign off, Brett Blomme boasted early endorsements from a whole host of elected officials, attorneys and community leaders, the most prominent being Democrat Wisconsin State Senator Tim Carpenter.

The next major endorsement for Blomme came from Democrat U.S. Congress Representative for Wisconsin’s 4th Congressional district, Rep. Gwen Moore. Rep. Moore endorsed Blomme whole-heartedly, going on to say, “I support Brett because, like me, he is committed to making Milwaukee a better place for all of us. He is a former public defender who has dedicated his career to fighting for justice and equity. Please join me in supporting Brett Blomme for Milwaukee County Circuit Court, Branch 5 on February 18. Brett is the change we need to help fix our broken criminal justice system.”

Another major endorsement for Brett Blomme was the LGBTQ Victory Fund, a national organization established in 1991 solely dedicated to increasing the number of openly LGBTQ people elected to public offices. According to Blomme’s own press release, this endorsement from the LGBTQ Victory Fund indicated the confidence of the Victory Fund that Blomme would be elected to the Milwaukee County Circuit Court. Blomme’s past as the President of an LGBTQ+ organization like Creamy City Foundation further boosted his credentials as a champion of LGBTQ people.

Brett Blomme also received endorsements from the local Milwaukee media, the most prominent of them being Shephard Express. The Editorial Board of Shephard Express endorsed Brett Blomme for the Milwaukee court, citing his “strong history of serving our community, including his work with nonprofits.”

An Inconvenient Past?

Brett Blomme was appointed the CEO of Creamy City Foundation, an LGBTQ+ organization which organizes the highly controversial ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ events at public libraries in and around Milwaukee, in June of 2017 and left just before he was elected as a judge. However, this is not easily accessible information.

This is because as the news of Blomme’s arrest for Child Pornography has come out, various online web pages were scrubbed which tied Brett Blomme to Creamy City Foundation. Blomme’s LinkedIn profile has been purged, with only a screenshot confirming his role as CEO of Creamy City Foundation existing.

The Creamy City Foundation has deleted all references to Brett Blomme on their website. OpIndia was able to secure a cached version of Brett Blomme’s author archives on the Creamy City Foundation website, which have all now been scrubbed. As an author, Blomme has advocated far-left positions on gender and sex, choosing to write articles about topics such as “trans cultural competency training”.

Multiple press releases from Brett Blomme himself describe him as the CEO of Creamy City Foundation, so there is no doubt regarding Blomme’s CEO-ship for the Creamy City Foundation. Here is an archived link of the Creamy City Foundation’s About webpage, showcasing Brett Blomme as the Past President and CEO of Creamy City Foundation.

Now that Blomme’s grievous offences of possessing multiple image depicting child pornography have been revealed, many poignant questions arise about Blomme’s activities as CEO of Creamy City Foundation. As the CEO, Blomme was overseeing several events, including Drag Queen Story Hour, with a great many minor children in attendance. If Blomme is convicted of the child phonography charges, it raises serious doubts regarding the safety of children at these events, and how a suspected pedophile was incharge of putting these events together.

Shree Jagannath Temple Administration clarifies on selling 35,000 acres land, calls media reports misleading and distorted

After the news report of 35,000 acres of land belonging to Shree Jagannath Puri Temple went viral, the temple administration has come out with clarification in a series of tweets. The temple administration has stated that the reports of land being sold are completely false and motivated.

SJTP (Shree Jagannath Temple Office, Puri) issued a series of tweet stating, “The lands, which are occupied or are under the possession of various persons since long but belongs to Shree Jagannatha Mahaprabhu; are being settled by Temple Committee as per the “Unified Policy”, framed for the purpose in the year 2003.”

“It is important to note that from 2001 to 2010, 291 acres of land was settled and from 2011 to 2021, 96 acres of land have been settled. These have been settled for the benefit of the public mostly in the form of schools, medical college, roads, etc.”

The Temple administration also clarified that all the decisions regarding the allotment of land for public benefit infrastructure projects to the Government or others are taken by the Shree Jagannath Temple Committee.

Basically, the Temple administration clarified that the decision to ‘settle’ land is not a unilateral decision by the state government and has been taken by the Temple administration for lands that are currently occupied by different parties.

This comes after news reports of the Odisha government selling 35,000 acres of temple land went viral yesterday and social media was awash with posts condemning the move.

Odisha Law Minister’s statement in the assembly

On Tuesday, Law Minister Pratap Jena had informed the Odisha assembly regarding the decision. “Around 60,426 acres of land in the name of Lord Jagannath, has been identified in 24 districts across the state. Over 395 acres of land has been identified in West Bengal, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Bihar.”

The Law Minister had stated that of over 60,000 acres of land owned by Lord Jagannath, the Temple authorities could prepare the final Record of Rights (RoR) over 34,876.983 acres and those lands will be sold and the funds will be deposited with the Temple.

The report also stated that as per the government’s decision, those who have encroached temple land for more than 30 years can take possession of the land by paying Rs. 6 lakh per acre. The ones who have encroached the land for less than 30 but more than 20 years will have to pay Rs.9 lakh per acre and those who have encroached the land less than 20 years but more than 12 years will have to pay Rs.15 lakh per acre to take possession of the land.

The news of Lord Jagannath’s land being sold had rekindled debates on social media regarding the government’s control and interference over Hindu temples and their properties.

CNN viewership down 47% in key 24-54 age group, loses a million viewers on average since the Biden inauguration

Cable News Network (CNN), the left-leaning American mainstream media outlet, is haemorrhaging viewership after Joe Biden’s inauguration as the U.S. President. The legacy media outlet slumped to a loss of almost 50% viewership in the key demographics, with CNN losing 47% viewership in 24-54 age demographic. The 24-54 age demographic is widely considered to be a key age group in terms of TV ratings. CNN has also lost a million viewers per night on average since the Biden inauguration on January 20th.

According to Nielsen data, CNN averaged around 2.5 million prime-time viewers from November 4th to January 20th. Prime-time viewers can be understood to be CNN viewers who watch the outlet during the prime-time slots of 8 PM to 11 PM Eastern Standard Time. After January 20th, this prime-time viewership of CNN, which averaged around 2.5 million, crashed down to 1.6 million prime-time viewers. This loss in prime-time viewership amounts to a drop off of 36%. This 1.6 million figure is the average of prime-time CNN viewership from January 21 through to March 15.

However, in the key demographic age group of 24-54, CNN’s prime-time viewership suffered a precipitous loss of 47% from January 21 to March 15. CNN’s daytime viewership also suffered similar viewership losses, with the average of CNN daytime viewership suffering a 34% decline from 1.7 million average daytime viewers to 1.1 million average viewers.

Daytime viewership for CNN in the key demographic age group of 24-54 in terms of daytime viewers fell 44% from an average of 4,83,000 to only 2,72,000. Speaking at the Morgan Stanley’s Technology, Media and Telecom Conference on March 5, the CEO of WarnerMedia, CNN’s parent company, Jason Kilar, said that CNN was ‘killing it’ in terms of ratings because of the Coronavirus pandemic.

“It turns out the pandemic is a pretty big part of the news cycle and that’s not going away any time soon. If you take a look at the ratings and the performance, it’s going well. I think it’s going well because A. the team at CNN is doing a fantastic job and B. it turns out the pandemic and the way that we can inform and help contextualize the business is really good for ratings.” CEO Jason Kilar said during the conference.

Jason Kilar further went on eulogizing the supposed success of CNN, “Anyone that is paying attention to the news business through linear television, CNN is killing it. They’re the number one cable news network now and have been since the election.”

Activist group accuses Congress supporter Saket Gokhale of using crowdfunding money for drugs, complains to NCB

A complaint has been lodged with the Narcotics Control Bureau against Saket Gokhale, a Congress supporter and an ardent follower of Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of earning drug money through the means of crowdfunding.

Legal activist group Legal Rights Observatory (LRO) has filed a complaint Narcotic Control Bureau against Congress supporter Saket Gokhale accusing him of receiving drug money through crowdsourcing. According to LRO, Saket Gokhale is the son of a former police officer, who was once accused in a drug trafficking case.

Last year, Gokhale had claimed to have collected over Rs 22 lakhs to take on the ‘BJP hate machine’ and launched a ‘campaign to take down hate-speech mongers’ on social media. The LRO has now accused that Gokhale has been using the money earned through such donation drives to procure drugs.

Time-and-again Gokhale has claimed that he intends to use the funds collected to pay for the expenses of people working for his campaign. However, there are serious allegations against Gokhale for misappropriating funds for his personal use.

Recently, allegations of fraud were made against Congress supporters and ardent follower of Rahul Gandhi – Saket Gokhale. Several people, including left-liberals, have accused Saket Gokhale, who often claims to be an “RTI and Transparency Activist”, of being a ‘fraud’ and have alleged that Gokhale collects money on the pretext of filing RTIs.

An AAP supporter named Amit Behere had accused Gokhale of wasting money by filing RTIs, which have had absolutely “zero return on investment”. He had alleged that the donations to Gokhale had obtained no results for the common public buf have benefitted only Gokhale himself.

It is pertinent to note that Saket Gokhale’s father was arrested in 2015 on the charge of protecting drug smugglers. Later, the court had acquitted him as Mumbai Police had no evidence against him.

India to be toll plaza-free within a year, GPS imaging to be used for toll collection: Here is what Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said

Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Thursday informed Lok Sabha that the central government will do away with the toll plaza booths across the country within a year. He said in place of physical toll plazas, GPS-based toll collection will be implemented.

“I want to assure the House that within one year all physical toll booths in the country will be removed. It means that toll collection will happen via GPS. The money will be collected based on GPS imaging (on vehicles),” Gadkari said in the Lok Sabha during Question Hour.

It is important to note that Gadkari’s assertion that the country will get rid of toll plazas does not mean that the travellers will not have to pay the toll charges. He meant that a system will soon be in place which will leverage the GPS imaging technology to deduct money directly from the registered bank account of the owner when the car passes through a toll road.

Government exploring ways to get GPS installed in old cars: Gadkari

“While now all commercial vehicles are coming with vehicle tracking systems, the government will come up with some plan to install GPS technology in old vehicles,” he said.

Gadkari also said that all toll collections may reach ₹34,000 crores by coming March. He informed, by using GPS technology for toll collection, the toll income in the next five years will be ₹1,34,000 crore.

93% of vehicles pay toll using FASTag: Gadkari

Nitin Gadkari also spoke about FASTag adoption, stating that about 93 per cent of the vehicles pay toll using FASTag, while the remaining 7 per cent have still not taken it despite paying a double toll. The minister said he has asked for a police inquiry for vehicles that still don’t pay toll using FASTag. There are cases of toll theft and GST evasion cases if FASTags are not fitted in vehicles, he said.

FASTag is an electronic toll collection system in India, operated by the National Highway Authority of India. It employs Radio Frequency Identification technology for making toll payments directly from the prepaid or savings account linked to it. It was introduced in 2016. Staring February 16, vehicles without FASTag are compelled to pay double toll fee at electronic toll plazas across the country.

The new vehicles have FASTag fitted with them, and for the old ones the government will provide free FASTags, Gadkari said.

West Bengal: PM Narendra Modi meets kins of BJP workers killed in the state, felicitates by giving them shawls

Prime Minister Narendra Modi who was in Purulia, West Bengal on Thursday, met the family of BJP workers who have fallen victim to the political violence in the state. Prime Minister Narendra Modi met in Purulia, the families and relatives of BJP workers who were killed, ANI reported.

Before addressing the public rally, which saw a huge turnout, PM Modi honoured relatives of BJP workers, who were killed in political violence unleashed by TMC goons in Purulia. Prime Minister facilitated all the families by giving them shawls.

Addressing the rally, PM Modi said the BJP government would act against all the culprits responsible for killing innocent lives.

Purulia in West Bengal is not unknown to violence. The district shot to fame after the 1995 mysterious arms drop incident in which unauthorised arms were dropped from an Antonov An-26 aircraft in the fields of the district. It was said to be a conspiracy of the then Congress government at the centre together with RAW and MI5 to overthrow the communist government in West Bengal.

Since then, Purulia has seen a lot of political violence, the spate of which has only increased ever since the BJP has made successful inroads in WB posing a big threat to the incumbent Mamata Banerjee government. From the thirty-two-year-old BJP worker Dulal Kumar, who was found hanging from a high tension electric pole in Purulia in 2018, to the 18-year-old BJP worker named Trilochan Mahato who was found murdered in similar circumstances in Balrampur a week before Dulal Kuma, Purulia has seen a lot of bloodsheds.

However, these spates of political violence in not only confined to this region. Poll-related violence has been an integral part of the state under Mamata Banerjee, especially after the 2019 Lok Sabha, when BJP created history in West Bengal. The saffron made successful inroads by securing 18 out of 42 seats in Mamata’s Bengal. This success did not come easily for the party. Innumerable BJP Karyakarta’s have given their lives to make BJP’s surge possible.

Trinamool Congress goons under Mamata Banerjee’s realm have carried out targeted killings of the ground-level workers, mostly students, teachers, labourers, farmers, agricultural workers and small shopkeepers and this time the brunt of most of the ire was borne by BJP workers in Bengal as they were standing as the biggest threat to Mamata government.

Dozens of BJP workers and leaders have been brutally attacked or killed before and during the election seasons in Bengal.

‘He had committed unpardonable mistakes’: Maha Home Minister Anil Deshmukh admits Param Bir Singh’s transfer was not a routine one

Spilling beans on the abrupt transfer of the former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh today said that ATS had found some “unpardonable mistakes” committed by Singh.

Deshmukh was speaking to the media when he revealed that Param Bir Singh was not transferred through a routine procedure. He added ‘unforgivable lapses in probe’ of the Antilia bomb scare triggered Singh’s transfer. Deshmukh said the decision to transfer Singh was taken by him in conjunction with Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.

“The probe in the case is underway. The matter was first handled by him(Singh). As the Mumbai Police Chief, unforgivable mistakes were made by his colleagues from his office. So the decision to transfer him was taken,” said Deshmukh. “Some police officers have made mistakes. Those who are found guilty in the investigation will be prosecuted. The NIA will investigate how the explosives were planted outside Antilia. ATS and NIA are professional agencies and they will trace the culprits involved in this case.”

MVA leaders prematurely rushed to defend Singh’s transfer, termed it a routine procedure

With Maha Vikas Aghadi government finding itself in the eye of the storm that was kicked up in the wake of the Antilia bomb scare, leaders of the three alliance partners had tried to downplay Singh’s transfer as a routine procedure.

Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi had called it a standard procedure, which she claimed was followed by various state governments and even the Centre, to ensure a free and fair investigation.

After Singh’s transfer was announced yesterday, Congress spokesperson Charan Singh Sapra stated that the transfer should be seen as a routine transfer.

Even NCP spokesperson Mahesh Tapase echoed similar sentiments, asserting that the transfer of Param Bir Singh was a routine procedure and that the Maha Vikas Aghadi government was not facing any heat.

He had said there was no damage to the constitutional machinery.

Param Bir Singh transferred amidst shocking revelations made in the Antilia Bomb scare

Amidst shocking revelations coming forth in the Antilia bomb scare, Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh was transferred yesterday and posted as DG Home Guard. Singh was replaced by Hemant Nagrale, who assumed the charge of Commissioner of Police in Mumbai.

The transfer comes in the midst of an ongoing investigation in the Antilia bomb scare in which the role of Mumbai Police Sachin Vaze has come under the scrutiny of investigative agencies. Vaze was recently arrested by the NIA in connection with the Antilia bomb scare case. It was also reported that Vaze had sought the CCTV footage of his own society, presumably with the purpose of destroying the evidence. It was also revealed that the explosives-laden Scorpio car found outside the Ambani residence was never stolen and was used by Vaze.

Earlier yesterday, an Indian Express report claimed that Sachin Vaze stage-managed the planting of a bomb outside Mukesh Ambani’s residence Antilia on instructions of Mumbai Commissioner of Police, Param Bir Singh. The report says that an unnamed Maharashtra Minister made these allegations. The report further states that Mumbai CP Parambir Singh may be fired soon. The same is believed to have been discussed in the meeting held on Monday between Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray and NCP chief Sharad Pawar.

Another incident of spitting on rotis emerges, Delhi Police arrests Mohammad Ibrahim and Anwar who worked in a West Delhi eatery

Another incident of people spitting on rotis they are making has come to light, this time from the national capital Delhi. A video of the incident had appeared on social media two days ago, where two-man was seen making rotis. One of them was seen spitting on the rotis before putting them in a tandoor. It was being said that the video is from a hotel in Seelampur in Delhi. Now, the two men in the video have been arrested by the police.

A tweet by Jinternder Sharma, a TV9 journalist, confirmed that West Delhi Police has arrested Mohammad Ibrahim and Anwar who were seen spitting on tandoori rotis in the viral video. The duo worked in a hotel in West Delhi and were caught by a customer spitting on rotis. The customer had also recorded the video. An FIR has been filed against the accused under IPC sections 269, 270, 272, 273 and 34 at Khayala Police Station, New Delhi.

This is the latest such incidents that have emerged in the last few weeks. One such incident took a violent turn when a Iqbal (43) shot Manoj Sharma who objected to Iqbal spitting out his shop, as reported by Amar Ujala. The accused upon being arrested confessed to having shot Manoj outside his shop on Brahmapuri Main Road when Manoj opposed to him spitting. Manoj, who is undergoing treatment at Max Hospital was shot in the jaw. CCTV footage revealed that Iqbal, who lives in Brahmapuri was involved in the crime and a pistol has also been recovered from him.

YouTube removes video interview of Yati Narsinghanand where he spoke about the Dasna temple controversy

Google’s video sharing platform YouTube has removed a video interview of Dasna temple Head Priest (Mahant) Yati Narsinghanand with DO Politics Editor Ajeet Bharti, where he spoke about the recent controversy over the Dasna temple, Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh.

The co-founder of DO Politics took to Twitter to reveal the same, raising concerns on how Hindu voices are being continuously suppressed by the “left-wing and Islamofascist Nexus in India”.

The video has been removed for violating YouTube’s hate speech policies.

Ajeet Bharti’s video interview of Dasna temple Mahant Yati Narsinghanand removed by YouTube

In the now-deleted YouTube video, Ajeet Bharti had tried to break down the controversy surrounding the Dasan temple that erupted last week. Left-liberal media cried foul at how the Dasna temple authorities had forbidden Muslims from entering the premises. This happened following the incident in which a teenage Muslim boy named Asif claimed that he was beaten for trying to drink some water inside the temple premises.

According to a few snippets of the video available on Twitter, Ajeet Bharti spoke on how the propaganda peddled by the left-media and the secular media ecosystem about the Muslim youth being ‘thrashed’ for drinking water inside the temple premises was untrue.

In another clip of the deleted video shared by DO Politics on its official Twitter handle, Ajeet Bharti speaks to the Dasna temple Head Priest (Mahant) Yati Narsinghanand, who slams the radical Muslims for their violent extremist ideologies.

Speaking about the left-liberal media bias, Yati Narsinghanand said that prior to him, all the Mahants of the temple have been brutally killed, but no media had ever shown any interest in those murders. Ever since this incident has happened, the left-media and the secular media ecosystem had pounced on the people responsible for managing the Dasna Devi temple in Ghaziabad.

The Mahant emphasises that he was never an Islamophobic, but after he recognised the truth of the religion, he did what he thought was best for his Hindu daughters and sisters, said the Mahant.

Yati Narsinghanand emphasised that incidents of theft, assault and sexual harassment of female devotees went on to such an extent that the temple management was forced to bar Muslims’ entry into the temple premises.

For the uninitiated, the Devi temple of Dasna, Ghaziabad had come under limelight after a teenage Muslim boy named Asif claimed that he was beaten for trying to drink some water inside the temple premises.

Speaking about the incident, Shringi Yadav, who was arrested in connection with the alleged assault on the Muslim boy Asif, dismissed the claims that the Muslim boy was targeted inside the temple for drinking water. Rubbishing the allegations, Yadav, who is now being depicted as the ‘mascot of hatred’ by the ‘left-liberal’ media, said that Asif was caught urinating on the Shivling inside the Dasna Devi temple. He also added the claims of Muslim youth entering the premises to drink water is not true.

Moreover, Mahant Yati Narsinghanand, the Mahant of the temple, said that Shiv Shakti Dham has a tap near the main gate and another tap close-by. If someone wants to drink water, why would he go inside the premises? He further alleged that it is a conspiracy against the temple. He alleged that there had been incidents of robbery at least four times in the temple premises.

There had been incidents of molestation of women and girls visiting the temple. To stop anti-social elements of the particular community, the temple authorities have placed a board at the temple entrance where it is clearly written, “The entry of Muslims is forbidden here.” It is being said that the board was installed around 7-8 years ago.
