YouTuber Elvish Yadav’s Kashi Vishwanath Temple Photo Sparks Controversy

Varanasi: YouTuber Elvish Yadav, who is currently entangled in a snake venom smuggling case, visited the Kashi Vishwanath Temple on Thursday. During his visit, he reportedly took a photograph inside the sanctum sanctorum of the temple, which has triggered a controversy.

The photograph of Yadav in the temple's inner sanctum quickly went viral on social media. Following the incident, Advocate Pratik Kumar Singh from Varanasi District Court has written a letter to the Police Commissioner demanding action against Yadav. The letter was submitted to Joint Commissioner of Police, Dr. K. A. Jilerson, in the absence of the Police Commissioner.

In his letter, the advocate expressed his deep faith and respect for the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, emphasizing that he is a Hindu by birth. He raised concerns that the act of Yadav taking a photo in the temple's sanctum has cast doubts on the temple administration as well as the district administration of Varanasi. The advocate urged for a thorough investigation into the matter to ensure that the sanctity of the temple is maintained and such incidents are prevented in the future
