The Maharashtra police has served a notice to activist Trupti Desai, and has said that it is unlikely that she will be allowed to go to Trimbakeshwar.
Earlier, Bhumata Brigade supporters, along with Desai, were again detained by the police in Maharashtra's Nandur Shingote as they headed towards the Trimbakeshwar temple in Nashik where women are prohibited.
The women activists were also detained on Monday while heading to the temple and were later released.
"Why are we being stopped from proceeding to Trimbakeshwar temple? Whatever the police is doing is wrong," said Desai after being detained.
Desai and her supporters had on Monday vowed to break the age-old rule of not allowing women inside the temple. They have demanded that women be allowed to enter the inner sanctum of Trimbakeshwar temple on the occasion of Maha Shivaratri.
The temple trust has maintained that the ban on entry of women is based on tradition, claiming that no objection has ever been raised on the same.
