UP Police on Sunday arrested a Delhi-based YouTuber for allegedly shooting a video inside a religious site where filming is restricted during night.
The YouTuber had shot a video earlier this month inside "Nidhivan Raj" in UP's Vrindavan.
According to a popular belief, Nidhivan Raj is the holy place where Radha and Lord Krishna play 'raas lila' during the night and no one is allowed to enter the place at that time.
Sharma, who runs Gauravzone Youtube channel, was arrested from his Delhi residence, police said
"While Sharma has been sent to judicial custody, efforts to nab his associates are on," police official Martand Prakash Singh said.
Police said that Gaurav Sharma has admitted that he shot the video at the "holy" place during the night of November 6 along with his cousin Prashant and friends Mohit and Abhishek.
Sharma uploaded the video on Youtube on November 9. However, he had to deleted it after priests protested against the shooting of a film inside the "holy" place.
A case under section 295A of the IPC and section 66 of the IT Act was registered in Vrindavan police station following a complaint by Rohit Goshwami, the priest of Nidhivan Raj, according to the officials.
Sharma is the same YouTuber who was arrested for making his dog fly tied to balloons in a video in May this year. The YouTuber was later released. He had later deleted the video and apologised for his act.
