In a bizarre incident, a Hindu Mahasabha worker surreptitiously offered Gangajal at a tomb inside the world-famous Taj Mahal in Uttar Pradesh's Agra.

According to reports, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel have detained two men, named Vinesh and Shyam, for allegedly offering holy Gangajal at the tomb.

The CISF is responsible for the security of the Taj Mahal. CISF members are tasked with frisking and checking bags at the entry gates. They also manage the crowd inside the Taj’s premises and at the main mausoleum.

Reports suggest that Vinesh and Shyam went inside with Gangajal in a Bisleri bottle.

A video of the incident has surfaced on social media. The purported video shows a man surreptitiously pouring water on what appears to be a tomb.

A security staff member can also be seen in the video. However, when the man was offering the water, no one stopped him.

Meera Rathore, the district president of the All India Hindu Mahasabha Women's Front, arrived at the Taj Mahal on Monday morning, carrying a Kanwar. She had filled the Kanwar with Gangajal. She wanted to offer the Gangajal at the Taj Mahal, but the police stopped her at the barrier at the western gate.

There was a commotion at the security barrier for several hours. She claimed that the Tejo Mahalaya is a temple of Lord Shiva and that she had come to offer Gangajal on the Shivling.

Previously, in 2019, a woman named Meena Diwakar also attempted to offer Kanwar at the Taj Mahal. Meena Diwakar had also performed Shiva Aarti there. According to reports, six cases have been filed against Meena Diwakar. All the cases are related to offering Kanwar and performing Shiva Aarti at the Taj Mahal.
