Varanasi (UP): Eight policemen were suspended on Thursday on charges of negligence in the wake of a video turning up online showing a woman falling into the 'argha' at Varanasi's Kashi Vishwanath temple.
The woman purportedly fell into the 'argha' during 'sparsh darshan,' which involves devotees touching the shivling in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple. According to police, on Monday after the 'saptarishi aarti', a sudden surge of visitors was witnessed, and the woman slipped and fell.
