Patna, Jan 5 (IANS) Police Tuesday detained a man who was allegedly trying to enter a Tibetan monastery in Bodh Gaya in Bihar where the Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama is staying.
The Dalai Lama reached Bodh Gaya, 110 km from here, on a chartered flight Monday. He is to give religious discourses for five days.
Guards at the Tibetan monastery caught the intruder late Monday when he tried to sneak in. He was handed over to the police, Gaya Superintendent of Police Sushil Khopade told IANS over telephone.
He said that security had been tightened further in and around the monastery.
The intruder was from a village in Nawada district, said J.K. Prasad, the Bodh Gaya police station officer in charge. “We are probing his background,” Prasad said.
Bodh Gaya is where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment.
