Akhilesh Yadav Slams Cops in Priests Attire At Kashi Vishwanath, Says 'Those Ordered This Should Be Suspended'

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, Yadav shared a purported video of cops dressed like pujaris inside the temple. In his post, the former Uttar Pradesh CM questioned if according to the 'police manual' it was allowed to have police officials dressed as priests in temples. Condemning the orders, he urged the UP government to suspend those behind the move.

"According to which 'police manual' is it correct to have policemen dressed as priests? Those who give such orders should be suspended. If tomorrow any thug takes advantage of this and loots the innocent public, then what will the UP government and administration answer? Condemnable!," wrote Yadav on X (formerly Twitter).

Varanasi Police Commissioner Mohit Aggarwal has said that the new initiative is aimed at managing huge rush at the temple. He informed that devotees tend to respect and follow instructions of priests
