A non-Hindu woman broke into the temple, bypassing all the security arrangements of the temple. The said non-Hindu person seems to be speaking in Chinese.

When the non-Hindu woman entered the shrine through the lion gate of the temple, the Sri Jagannath temple police identified the woman and brought her out. The JTP brought the non-Hindu women to the temporary police camp near Singhdwar. Later, the police questioned the non-Hindu woman and left her outside the barricade.

There are instances of non-Hindus entering the temple in the past as well. Last March 3, 9 citizens of Bangladesh came to the shrine. Out of them, one Hindu and 5 non-Hindus entered the temple. But while the other 3 were outside, the 6 people who entered the temple were caught by Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang workers and taken into police custody at the Lion Gate. The police detained all 9 people and released them after interrogation.
