According to the girl, Chauhan began to sexually harass her when she first started visiting the local Iskcon temple in Jammu’s Muthi area in 2016. She met Chauhan, who was also a part of the temple administration. The girl alleged that Chauhan began to harass her sexually both inside and outside the temple and even resorted to stalking.

The girl said that she stopped serving at the temple for many months to avoid this alleged predator.…
