Agra On the third Monday of Sawan month, a woman activist of Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha again claimed to conduct ‘jalabhishek’ and waved saffron flag to press the point that Taj Mahal was originally a Shiva temple called Tejomahalaya. The Central Industrial Security Force, entrusted with the security on Taj Mahal premises, nabbed the woman while she was waving the saffron flag from the white marble platform around the main mausoleum and took her for questioning. With a water bottle in her hand, she climbed the platform around main mausoleum of Taj Mahal and waved saffron flag towards one of her associate on Taj Mahal premises who videographed the act and made it viral. Both were booked under section 223, 298 and 299 of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita at Tajganj police station on the complaint of CISF inspector at Taj Mahal Jitendra Kumar Tiwari.
