Police arrested two youths from the Taj Mahal premises on Saturday after they were seen pouring water from a bottle there. A local right-wing Hindu outfit claimed that the two were its members and had offered holy 'Gangajal' as they believe the monument is a Hindu temple.
Suraj Kumar Rai, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Agra City), said the two youths were arrested following a written complaint by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel posted inside the Taj Mahal.
"The youths entered the premises as tourists. The complaint said that the youths were seen pouring water inside the Taj Mahal premises," he told reporters.
They have been arrested after the incident and a case has been filed at the Tajganj Police Station, Rai said.
The case has been registered under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections 223 (disobedience to order promulgated by public servant), 298 (injuring or defiling place of worship), and 299 (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings), the police said, adding the matter is being investigated in detail.
A purported video of the incident also appeared on social media.
A local Hindu organisation Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM) has claimed that youths are its members and the two offered water of the holy Ganges on the premises as it is a Hindu temple, 'Tejo Mahalay'.
The incident comes just days after a member of the group carrying Kanwar on her shoulders tried to enter the Taj Mahal to offer Gangajal.
However, she was stopped by the policemen deployed at the barrier of the west gate of the Taj Mahal.
In a purported video of the Saturday incident, a youth is seen pouring water on the floor above the locked basement where the graves of Mughal emperor Shahjahan and his wife Mumtaz are located.
Sanjay Jaat, a spokesperson of the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM), said the two arrested youths — Vinesh Chaudhary and Shyam — are its members.
"They entered the Taj Mahal. One of them offered 'Gangajal' inside the premises of the Taj Mahal which was a Hindu temple of Lord Shiva. We are proud of it and will keep doing it," he said.

If it hadn't been for the squirrels, George Matthew's attempt to become a cocoa bean producer might have failed.
His farming career began in the 1970s when he inherited a rubber plantation in the the southern Indian state of Kerala , which he managed alongside his career as a doctor.
It was a bad time to inherit a rubber plantation, falling rubber prices meant it kept losing money. So, 10 years ago Dr Matthew decided to experiment with cocoa trees, hoping they would generate some funds to support the rest of the farm.
He bought some saplings and planted them. It didn't go well. "It was not that successful - most of the saplings died," he says.
Squirrels appeared to be making the situation worse by grabbing cocoa bean pods and eating them.
But those raids had an unexpected benefit - cocoa seeds were spread all over the farm.
Despite having several regions with weather conditions suitable for cocoa trees, India only accounts for 1% of the world's cocoa bean production.
Global production is currently dominated by West Africa, where Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana between them produce more than half of the world's annual output.
Indian growers can only supply a quarter of the beans needed by Indian makers of chocolate and other confectionary.
"The challenge is that it is grown in very fragmented small holdings, so it does not get the kind of attention cocoa should get," says Renny Jacob, chairman of India Cocoa, a private company that has been growing and processing cocoa beans for more than 30 years.
In particular he says that Indian farmers are poor at handling beans after they have been harvested. Once removed from their pods, beans go through a fermentation process at the farm, which can make a huge difference to their flavour.
"Cocoa fermentation is a critical process in the production of chocolate, transforming raw cocoa beans into a form suitable for chocolate making," says Sarin Partrick, chief executive of India Cocoa.
"This complex process involves several stages and the activity of various micro-organisms, which help develop the beans' flavour, aroma, and colour," he says.
To raise the quantity and quality of cocoa bean production, the government has introduced several initiatives.
It is investing in schemes to develop hybrid cocoa plants, that are more productive than existing varieties.
In addition there are schemes to train farmers on the latest techniques for growing and processing beans.
“There is a vast opportunity for Indian farmers to enter into cocoa cultivation and avail the benefits," says Dr Femina, who works in the government department tasked with developing cocoa production.
"All the scattered seeds soon grew in to plants and they were much healthier and stronger than the saplings I had planted," says Dr Matthew.
"The trick was in sowing the seeds," he realised. Today Mr Matthews has 6,000 cocoa trees on his 50 acres of land.
"I think it was the best decision I have made," he says.

Mumbai: Around noon on Tuesday (November 19), a group of activists from the Bahujan Vikas Aghadi (BVA) stormed into Hotel Vivanta in Manvelpada in Nalasopara, where BJP national general secretary Vinod Tawde was stationed. The activists, along with a few local media groups, cornered Tawade and alleged that he was in the hotel purportedly to distribute Rs 5 crore in the constituency.
One of his diaries containing alleged notings of the persons to whom the money was to be delivered was also snatched.
In several videos circulated on social media, Tawde, a close associate of Union home minister Amit Shah, could be seen pleading before the agitated crowd to let him go. As the chaos intensified, local police and Election Commission officials reached the hotel.
According to the Indian Express, Rs 9.93 lakh was recovered from Tawde’s hotel room. The police have registered an FIR against him.
A few hours after the drama unfolded, Tawde, speaking to the media, claimed that he was in Nalasopara to meet BJP karyakartas. “I came here to discuss minute election-related details with party workers; details relating to the model code of conduct; how the voting machine is supposed to be sealed; if someone from the party were to raise an objection, how to go about doing that, etc.”
While sitting with party workers, Tawde said, members of Hitendra Thakur’s BVA gathered and began to make allegations that he was distributing money. While Thakur was not at the hotel, it was his son Kshitij who had allegedly snatched the diary from Tawde.
“I have been with the BJP for 40 years, BVA members are known to me. The reality is known to them. I want the CCTV footage of the hotel to be examined. I want the Election Commission, the police to carry out an unbiased investigation in the allegations made against me,” Tawde said.
Thakur, who claimed to have caught Tawde “red-handed”, however claimed that he had prior inputs that Tawde would be in the area with a bagful of money. “I got to know about this from a senior BJP leader,” he claimed.
He further claimed that since the incident was out in the open, Tawde had been contacting him and pleading with him non-stop to “settle the matter”.
“I have his diary. It has explosive information in it. The diary has details of people to whom the money has to be distributed. It is clear that Tawade was in the region to distribute money,” he claimed.
At the hotel after the row, Hitendra Thakur, his son Kshitij, Tawde and the BJP’s Nalasopara candidate Rajan Naik decided to hold a “joint press conference”. This was, however, stopped by the Election Commission. With the political campaign having come to an end on Monday, political parties are barred from making any political statements until polling on November 20.
The BVA in the parliamentary election had supported the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance.
In another strange event today after the row at the hotel, Hitendra Thakur, Kshitij and Tawde left together in a car to “have lunch”.
While this cash-for-vote drama unfolded in the hotel, in close-by Dahanu the BVA’s MLA candidate decided to withdraw from the fray just a day before the election. The party’s Suresh Padvi called for a press conference where he declared that he was leaving the BVA and would support the BJP’s official candidate Vinod Mendha in the constituency.
The Nalasopara incident led to a political furore. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said, “The BJPs’ game is over now. The job which has to be done by the Election Commission was done by Thakurs.”
BJP leaders, however, have tried to downplay the incident. Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar of the BJP said: “Vinod Tawde is a national general secretary. Is he going to distribute money at ward levels? If tomorrow someone from the BJP claims Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar are distributing money, I will admonish him then and there.”
State BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule in a media statement claimed it was a “well-planned conspiracy to malign Tawde’s image.

Joke here is that raid came from "EC". EC is "raiding" now? Who complained? And how does any of this prove anything? Having money is crime now? EC going to charge them for having "illegal" money?

Not really, there is a twisted logic to it, what it is, is an attempt to gain lime light and to attract other imbeciles to join their cause for more political power
Now that im explaining it, imbecilic and extreme does fit to a tee, but the ones leading it are doing so with a guided purpose
