An elderly priest in Jaipur is assaulted inside a temple after a dispute over loud devotional music. NDTV reports that people intrude on the temple premises and demand the priest turn down the volume of “bhajans” being played through speakers.
The priest refuses, and the confrontation escalates into violence. He is punched and kicked, according to the reports. NDTV also describes the attackers as individuals living near the temple, who are involved in the disagreement about how loudly the devotional tracks are played.
Both accounts describe the same sequence of events—requests to lower speaker volume, the priest’s refusal, and the resulting assault—without providing additional details on legal action, injuries beyond the assault, or any formal findings on the cause of the dispute.
