Karnataka priest Darshan
A priest in Karnataka has been suspended for placing a photograph of Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, who is currently jailed on murder charges, inside the sanctum sanctorum of the Dodda Basaveshwara Temple in Ballari. The incident sparked outrage among local residents and devotees, who expressed their anger at the perceived disrespect to the sanctity of the temple. Videos of the priest performing a pooja with the actor's photo circulated online, leading to demands for his permanent dismissal. The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department has initiated an internal investigation into the matter. Darshan has been in judicial custody since June 11, charged with orchestrating the murder of a fan who sent derogatory messages to his co-star. His ongoing popularity and the fervent support of his fans have raised concerns about the implications of idolizing a figure facing serious criminal charges.
