The administration of the Shani Shingnapur temple in Maharashtra's Ahmednagar district has dismissed 167 employees on the grounds of indiscipline and irregularities. The Shani Shingnapur temple administration clarified that the decision was not based on religion or caste but solely on the issue of employee misconduct. The clarification came as several social media posts claimed Muslim employees were fired due to caste discrimination. Notably, the development came after Acharya Tushar Bhosale, head of the BJP Spiritual Coordination Front, demanded the removal of the 114 Muslim employees working at the temple. Acharya Bhosale also announced a protest on June 14. However, a day before the scheduled protest, the temple trust held a meeting and fired the employees. Appasaheb Shete, trustee of the Shani Shingnapur Devasthan Trust, informed the employees of the action taken, reports IANS. Shirdi Saibaba Temple and Shani Shingnapur in Maharashtra Closed For Devotees Amid COVID-19 Outbreak.
