While the Lord Shiva devotees have been up in arms about the incident since the video went viral on Tuesday and sought the HR&CE department officials to take action against the staff member, the department officials have clarified that the SP visited the shrine before the temple was closed.

One of the devotees staged a sit-in on Wednesday seeking action against the HR&CE officials.
