Bhubaneswar: Disregard to Lord ‘Jagannath’ and holy ‘Tulasi tree’ has cost dear for Odia cine star Tatwa Prakash Satpathy (Papu) as the activists of Lulu Sena attacked with ink at him at Cuttack road here.

The major embarrassment came for the actor when he was returning from a shooting. The supporters of the late Congress pioneer Lulu Mohapatra threw ink on his face even after Papu begged excuse by holding ears.

The Jagannath Sena had lodged a complaint yesterday at Sea Beach police station demanding his arrest.

For the sake of comedy, the actor had said on Stageat the concluding ceremony of Beach Festival in Puri that Tulasi plant, on which dog urinates is offered to Lord Jagannath. “Who prays Lord Jagannath, he would take rebirth as canine. Because, Tulsi is offered to the Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, Subhadra and Lord Vishnu after dog grants it”, Papu had said satirically.
