• “Priests are also hand in glove..” a social media user replied, with another writing, “It’s shameful that few caretakers of temple in dhotis too are part of the loot. They can’t claim being Brahmins by this very act for not practicing the virtue of asteyatva. They’ve brought disrepute to the entire community. Shame on them. Sack all these people from administration,” a user said.
• “Corruption is everywhere. #Free temples,” another replied.
• “Don’t you think it will be even worse if temples do these administrative duties?,” said another.
• “The fellows should have at least respect for the thread they are wearing. A black mark to the community,” said a user.
• “Frankly unless bhagwan punishes immediately this will continue,” said another user.
