Preventing a Rastriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) leader from entering a temple with his shoes on, led to a clash between cops and local RSS and BJP leaders in Agra on Friday morning. The Sangh and BJP leaders pelted stones and damaged the house of a sub-inspector posted in Government Railway Police besides opening fire.
Interestingly, when the local police reached the spot, the Saffron leaders also attacked them but later under pressure, Agra Police registered cross cases and did not arrest anyone. ASP of Hariparwat, Anurag Vats after visiting the spot said that a probe was on in the matter.
As per reports, RSS worker Arvind Chauhan in Agra visited a temple in Roshanbagh area of Dayalbagh locality for darshan on Friday morning. While he was entering the temple complex without taking off his shoes, sub-inspector Mukesh Gautam posted in local GRP, objected and asked him to take off the shoes.
This trivia led to a trade of expletives between the two. later Chauhan was joined by other RSS colleagues along with local BJP leaders, who attacked Gautam who fled the scene. The angry mob chased the cop to his house adjacent to the temple and rained stones damaging the windows. The irate group also allegedly opened fire.
As Gautam called the local police for help, the saffron leaders did not spare them too. later some senior officers reached the scene and defused the situation.
While Gautam submitted a complaint against the RSS and BJP leaders, the latter too lodged a complaint charging the cop of unnecessarily creating disturbance in the temple.
The RSS workers also alleged that Gautam pelted stones at his house and damaged window panes with the intention of framing them in the case. Further investigations are on in the matter.
