Superintendent of Police (SP) of Ujjain district, Sachin Atulkar, has landed into controversy by showing disrespect to Lord Shiva (Shivling), while performing Shiv Tandav Stotra during cultural programmes of IPS meet in Bhopal on Wednesday night.
On the first day of IPS Meet 2020 held in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, the police officers had fun with their family. In the cultural function of the IPS Meet, selected IPS officers from across the state performed group dances and other acts. Officers were also honored with awards for Best Dance Moves.
On this occasion, Ujjain Superintendent of Police Sachin Atulkar also danced on Shiva Tandava Stotra, but during this time he made a mistake, which became the subject of controversy.
Sachin Atulkar touched the Shivalinga with a jutting leg while dancing, which is clearly visible in the video. After this video went viral, people are condemning this act of Superintendent of Police. However, some people are also saying that while dancing they accidentally touched their feet with Shivling. However, the video shows that it was not accidental that Atulkar’s shoe touched the shivling, as he kept his right show there for few seconds without hesitation.
There is no response from SP Sachin Atulkar regarding this.
Madhya Pradesh unit of BJP Spokesman Rahul Kothari told every individual should know his limitations, while discharging his duties. After the State Government’s decision to organise IIFA award in the State and introducing Film Promotion policy, the officials are also obsessed with films, he added.
