Maharashtra: After 'no non-Hindus' call, Shani temple fires 114 Muslim staff

IndiaTimes Friday, 13 June 2025
The Shani Shingnapur shrine trust in Maharashtra dismissed 167 employees, citing non-performance and absenteeism. A significant portion, 68% of those laid off, were Muslims. This action followed threats from a Hindu group demanding the removal of non-Hindus from the shrine's workforce, though the trust denies any discriminatory intent, stating the dismissals were disciplinary.
