Earlier, a Buddhist monk of Russian-origin was arrested by Bihar police after he was caught with 10 ml of liquor which he was carrying for a ‘Tantrik Sadhana’ (a form of meditation), during which he was planning to consume it in the temple itself, on Friday.

The Buddhist monk, identified as Idipsi Ayas, was caught carrying the contraband in a 100 ml bottle and it was recovered from his possession during security check. The security personnel handed him over to the Bodh Gaya police along with the ‘liquor’.

A case has been registered against the monk by Gaya Police who produced him before a court. He was later remanded to judicial custody here since the consumption of liquor is prohibited in Bihar.
