Police deployed after rumour of Shivling found near graveyard in Jaunpur

Security has been beefed up here following rumours that a Shivling was found near a graveyard in the Jaunpur Nagar Kotwali police station area, a police officer said on Saturday.

Superintendent of Police (City) Arvind Kumar Verma, however, asserted the claim being made on social media about the Shivling being found is “completely wrong”.

There is already a temple there where people offer worship, he said, adding police force has been deployed for security.
