Two members of the Hindu outfit, Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha, were arrested by the Uttar Pradesh Police on Saturday for allegedly offering Gangajal (Holy water) at the Taj Mahal in Agra on the occasion of Sawan month. The video of the incident has been shared widely on the internet.

A viral video of the incident shows one of the accused, who entered the monument’s premises after purchasing a ticket as a tourist, pouring water from a plastic bottle on a closed staircase.

At the Taj Mahal, the original grave of the Mumtaz Mahal is in the basement of the world’s seventh wonders. The accused argued that the Taj Mahal is not a monument but a Shiva temple, and the holy water was poured onto a sticker displaying Om.

The accused, who are in Tajganj Police custody, claimed that they offered holy water in plastic bottles, considering the Taj Mahal as ‘Tejo Mahalay’, a Shiv temple.

The police have identified the arrested individuals as Vinesh and Shyam from Mathura in Uttar Pradesh.

A case has been registered at the Tajganj police station against these two youths by the Agra city deputy commissioner of police Suraj Rai, following a written complaint by CISF. Necessary action is being taken.

The Deputy Commissioner said two youths have claimed to have offered Gangajal inside the Taj Mahal, referring to it as Tejo Mahalaya. They performed this act at the basement door of the main mausoleum and have shared a video of it online, he added. The CISF, responsible for Taj Mahal security, detained the youths and handed them over to the police, Rai further said.

The arrested individuals, Vinesh and Shyam from Mathura, are associated with the Hindu Mahasabha, adding that DCP Rai said police are currently investigating the matter.

 A tech giant and the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, reacted and commented on the throwback picture shared by “DogeDesigner” where Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is greeting Elon Musk’s children. The picture has gone viral on the internet, amassing around 9,000 likes, with X boss Musk commenting, “Damian & Kai,” referring to the names of two of his children shown in the picture.

In the photograph, PM Modi is shaking hands with one of the kids while the other looks on with a smile on his face. Musk is in the background, looking pleased. Musk is known for his activeness on X (formerly Twitter) with his constant posts and witty comments, and this picture is a throwback to 9 years ago.

Musk’s comment on the post, mentioning his children’s names, shows it was a pleasing moment for him. Musk has 11 children from three women: six children from his first wife, Justine Wilson, three from his ex-girlfriend Grimes, and three with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. Damian and Kaiquot are from his first marriage.

Musk’s intention behind creating such a large family is due to his fear of the declining birth rate. He believes that the decreasing birth rate is the biggest danger to civilization. Musk states he wants as many children as possible and strives to spend time with all of them and be a good father.

Many countries are already struggling with a below-replacement birth rate, so building large households is something Musk believes should be followed worldwide to maintain the global population. The replacement rate is considered to be 2.1 children per woman, which is assumed to be declining soon.

X users reacted to this picture with comments like, “Boys will be boys; look at their faces. Too precious. God bless greatly.” Another user commented on children’s upbringing, saying, “You rarely see children with a book; that’s probably why they become successful people.” A third user shared how PM Modi is great with kids: “PM Modi bonds with kids quite well. My kid has also met him. Here he is during his visit to one of the African nations.”
