Outrage As Kerala Police Poses On Sabarimala’s Sacred Steps

A photo of 28 Kerala police personnel posing on the 18 steps, ‘Pathinettampadi’, of the Sabarimala temple sparked outrage among devotees and Hindu organizations. The image, showing officers with their backs to the sanctum sanctorum, was seen as a breach of tradition. Senior officials, including ADGP S Sreejith, ordered an immediate inquiry, with KE Baiju tasked to submit a report.
