Puri: A 23-year-old YouTuber from Bangladesh was arrested here for allegedly taking photos of Jagannath temple's sanctum sanctorum on phone, in violation of the ban imposed on gadget use at the shrine, and posting those on social media, a police officer said on Tuesday.

A local court later granted him bail as the offence was non-cognizable in nature, the officer said.

The pictures, uploaded by Akash Chowdhury on Facebook, went viral shortly after it was posted a week ago, sparking concerns over security at the 12th century shrine. (PTI)
