New Delhi, July 17
India and Nepal may have waded into another controversy after a video purportedly showing a Nepali youth being forcibly tonsured and “Ram” being etched on his head in Uttar Pradesh began doing the rounds on the social media.
The police in Varanasi, where the alleged incident took place, have registered a case and arrested one person in the case.
Nepal Ambassador Nilambar Acharya called UP CM Yogi Adityanath to draw his attention to the video and ascertain the facts. Acharya said he had asked the UP CM to take action as per law. The video is said to have been shot at a ‘ghat’ in Varanasi. Nepal activists pointed out this was the fallout of PM KP Oli’s statement on Ayodhya. — TNS
