Monks' sex video sparks protests
Two monks have sparked protests in India when they were caught on video having sex with a young woman.
The incident has shocked followers of the Vadtal faction of the influential Swaminarayan sect, reports the Hindustan Times.
Angry crowds gathered outside the sect's temples demanding to know why the pair had broken their vows of celibacy.
Police had to provide security after angry crowds gathered outside the sect's main temple in Dabhoi in Vadodara district.
The temples of the group in Vadtal, Anand and Nadiad in central Gujarat also witnessed angry crowds demanding explanations.
Temple board chief Nautam Swami said the two men in the film were being blackmailed.
He was quoted as saying: "It was a sting operation, part of a conspiracy carried out by the rival faction. It is a two-year-old incident and has been raked up to defame the sect."
