Prayagraj: Tension prevailed at the Juna Akhara in Prayagraj’s Maha Kumbh on Makar Sankranti when a youth sneaked inside and reached the room of Mahamandaleshwar of Juna Akhara and Dasna temple Mahant Yati Narsinghanand Giri, expressing desire to meet him.
The youth initially introduced himself as Ayush, but suspicion grew among the saints after he failed to produce any valid identity card. Subsequently, he was handed over to the police for further verification.
To everyone's shock, during police interrogation, the youth revealed his real name as Ayub Ali and said he hails from Etah Lalganj. He claimed to have come to Maha Kumbh as a visitor. While police is continuing interrogation into the purpose of his visit, the youth maintained that he is unaware of any sort of restrictions on his visit. "I have come alone. This is my first visit to Prayagraj. I don't know anyone here. I had no idea who is allowed and who is not. I have two brothers and three sisters. My father's name is Saqir Ali," said Ayub to police.
