Temple body files complaint against Noida vlogger who took his pet dog to Kedarnath

DEHRADUN: The Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee (BKTC) has filed a police complaint against vlogger Rohan Tyagi who triggered a row earlier this week by taking his dog, a Husky, to the Kedarnath shrine and getting a priest to put a tilak (vermillion) on the dog’s forehead.

BKTC president Ajendra Ajay slammed the Noida-based vlogger for uploading the video of the act on Instagram adding it had “nothing to do with devotion”. After filing a complaint with police on Thursday evening, Ajay said, “His act was highly objectionable. It hurts the religious sentiments of people who have faith in Baba Kedarnath. Such acts breach the sanctity of the highly revered shrine.”
