TIRUPATI: Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams warned that it will initiate stringent action against the miscreants who recorded prank videos at Tirumala, thereby hurting the sentiments of the visiting devotees.
The Tirupati trust said that some miscreants entered near the Narayanagiri sheds where the pilgrims were sheltered before being allowed into the running queue lines, and shot a prank video in which they tried to bluff the devotees by acting as if the shelter gates were to be opened to allow them into the running queue lines.
Subsequently, the miscreants uploaded the prank videos on social media platforms, which went viral on Thursday.
Condemning the act and stating that such acts were despicable, TTD warned of stringent action against those involved in this incident and appealed to one and all to not make prank videos or resort to such acts that could hamper the spiritual ambience of the sacred hill town.
