Cops foil women's attempt to storm Shani shrine and end bias - Times of India: "SHINGANAPUR (Ahmednagar): With the odds stacked heavily against them, around 500 women activists of advocacy group Bhumata Ranragini Brigade made a determined bid to enter the Shani Shinganapur temple -women are prohibited from worshipping here -but were taken into preventive custody by cops and later released following a written assurance that they would not barge into the shrine.
Calling off the day-long high voltage agitation near Supa village, around 70 km from Ahmednagar, group leader Trupti Desai demanded intervention from chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and called for dissolving the temple trust with immediate effect, and sought an end to the alleged gender-bias at the shrine."
