Orissa temple files complaint against Shilpa Shetty
Authorities of the Sakhigopal temple in Orissa today lodged a police complaint against Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty accusing her of entering into the shrine with armed guards and lensmen with their shoes on.
For the action of the actress, the priests had to bury the 'prasad' (cooked food for the deity) as per rituals of the temple, a temple official said. "Security personnel and photographers accompanying the actress entered into the temple with shoes and camera," Mahendra Das, executive officer of the temple, said in the complaint lodged at Satyabadi police station in Puri district. Entering the temple with shoes and camera is prohibited, Das said alleging the actress did not pay any heed to the priests who asked her not to commit the "mistake".
Shetty, who was in Puri yesterday for shooting of a tele-serial, allegedly entered the Krishna temple without proper permission from the authorities, the police said. Adequate police protection was made for the 34-year-old actress, the police said.
Protesting the actress's alleged act of hurting sentiment of the local people, the priests staged a sit-in demanding action against the winner of the Celebrity Big Brother show in 2007.
