Puri: The Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) has lodged a complaint at Singhadwar police station against a servitor for allegedly using a mobile phone atop a chariot during the Bahuda Jatra of Lord Jagannath and His siblings here.

The complaint includes photographs showing the servitor using the mobile phone on the Darpadalana chariot of Goddess Subhadra, as well as a news article published in a newspaper.
