Police in Haridwar are investigating a video showing two men in traditional Gulf attire at the sacred Har Ki Pauri ghat. The men, who identified themselves as social media influencers from Dubai, were questioned by priests and later arrested by police. They revealed their names as Naveen Kumar and Prince from Haridwar and apologized for hurting religious sentiments, stating they were making a YouTube video. The incident has intensified calls from local priests and the Ganga Sabha to restrict non-Hindu access to Ganga ghats, a demand the Uttarakhand government is considering.
