Overview

- Republic World reported that police registered a case and arrested the accused after the SGPC’s filing, while Ghaziabad officials noted detention and transfer procedures.
- The SGPC said its internal review of CCTV showed the man rinsing his mouth at the sarovar and not paying obeisance, which it cited in seeking an FIR.
- Investigators are examining the viral video, CCTV footage, and whether others who accompanied him played any role, with the inquiry continuing.
