Police today detained Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sadhvi Prachi here while she was on her way to Moradabad to take part in the Vishwa Hindutva Parishad's proposed 'Jalabhishek March'.
At the epicentre of the trouble in Moradabad is a temple in Muslim-dominant Akbarpur village belonging to the Jatav community. Trouble started last month after some villagers protested against the installation of a loudspeaker in the temple.
The VHP has reportedly demanded the re-installation of loudspeakers and wants to hold a prayer within the temple premises.
