New Delhi, Apr 25: The security cover of Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from the Bhopal Lok Sabha constituency, was strengthened on Wednesday, officials said.

The decision was taken a day after a man holding black flag approached Thakur while she was filing her nomination papers on Tuesday. Her supporters later thrashed the man.

Besides heightening the security at her residence, the number of security personnel around her has also been increased.

According to informed sources, Thakur may be provided Z-category security.

She is contesting the Lok Sabha elections against former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh.

Sadhvi is facing trial under terror charges for the Malegaon bomb blast which killed six people. She was arrested under the under stringent sections of The Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) in a Mumbai court, and is now out on bail allegedly as her health as deteriorated.

On September 29, 2008, explosives hidden in an LML Freedom motorcycle went off in Malegaon, Maharashtra, which left six people dead and injured over a 100.

The investigation led by then Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare, who died while fighting Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists traced the motorcycle to Sadhvi.

Recently, Sadhvi claimed that Karkare had framed her in the bomb blast case, and her 'curse' had led to his death. Faced by strong criticism, she withdrew her comments later.

Udupi, Feb 8: A rare sixth century granite idol of ‘Lajja Gauri’ has been discovered fixed on the road in Barkur village of Udupi district, according to information furnished by Dr. Shivakant Bajpai, Superintending Archaeologist of ASI Bangalore Circle. Lajja Gauri is depicted in nude form and is said to be a fertility symbol. The idol is rare, though very popular among certain cults.

Dr Shivakant Bajpai, who is on a tour of the coastal districts, said that he first came across the image when it went viral on social media. He subsequently traced it to a public road in Barkur, which is an ancient historical town of coastal Karnataka. It was the ancient capital of the Alupa kingdom and a seat of power for several centuries.

“This is a very important idol and hundreds of vehicles pass over it every day. We are rescuing it and I have issued an order to my local in-charge to keep it in safe custody. I have also sent a mail in this regard to the DC and SP of the district,” he said.

The idol is likely to be of 6th or 7th century, though further study is required to confirm a date, Dr. Bajpai said.

Lajja Gauri is a lotus-headed Hindu deity associated with abundance, fertility and sexuality, sometimes euphemistically described as Lajja ("modesty").
