Vrindavan: A religious
preacher here is on the run after a porn film he is said to have
produced with his wife went into circulation here, triggering
noisy protests.
The Bhagwatacharya, described as a multi-faceted personality, has
been accused of producing the movie against the backdrop of ghats,
holy shrines and the Yamuna river, police sources said.
Clips of the film are doing the rounds all over Vrindavan and
Mathura. The CD appears to have been commercially marketed, the
sources said.
On Wednesday, his wife filed a police complaint against an IT firm
which allegedly leaked the film from a laptop the religious leader
had given for repair.
She told police that Rs.10 lakh was allegedly demanded in ransom
before the footage went into public circulation. Police in Mathura
have registered a complaint.
Other religious leaders have denounced the offending "kathavachak"
who they say has disgraced the holy city. Angry youngsters have
been demanding action against him and burnt his effigy.
The accused preacher has disappeared from Vrindavan.
