A video shows how a woman who persisted on sitting next to Lord Venkateshwara's statue and claimed to be his wife was beaten, pulled by her hair, and hauled out of a Bengaluru temple. The woman reported the incident to Amruthahalli Police Station, and although it happened on December 21, it was only recently made public. In the footage, a man can be seen dragging a woman by her hair across a temple floor. She tries to stop him, but he rushes for her dupatta and pushes her out the temple door. The woman pushes back. He now begins slapping her before reaching for a rod to thrash her. The footage saw the woman being protected by another individual. The accused has been charged with a crime under several sections of the Indian Penal Code.
