A priest and two others were arrested by the police for organizing an item dance in a temple in Tekal in Kolar district, 75 kms from Bengaluru. They also assaulted the policemen and held them captive for a few hours.
The police said that they received information about girls in skimpy costumes dancing on the premises of the Byatagangamma temple on the Tekal-Bangarpete Road on Thursday night. When two policemen went to the spot, the priest and a few local residents objected to their presence. When the police asked them to produce the permission letter for the public performance, the priest and two others allegedly assaulted the law enforcement officers and locked them inside a room.
When the policemen did not return to the station in time, the local sub-inspector went to the spot with a platoon of police. When they found out that the two policemen were locked by the temple priest, the police took control of the situation and arrested the priest and two others. The dancers were brought from the neighboring Andhra Pradesh for night long performance as part of the 6th anniversary celebrations of the temple.
