A self-styled Aghori, Kali alias Nand Giri, was arrested in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, after a video allegedly showed her taking material from a burning funeral pyre and consuming it. The video, reportedly filmed at the Chakratirth cremation ground, was shared on social media and led to a complaint. Police registered a case under Section 301 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 25 of the Arms Act. Nand Giri was produced before a magistrate and remanded to judicial custody. Section 301 covers trespassing at places set aside for funeral rites and offering indignity to human remains, with punishment of up to one year in prison, a fine, or both. The investigation is underway.
