The office of Fadnavis in a statement said an officer of the additional director general (ADG) rank will head the SIT.

"The SIT will not only conduct a probe into this incident, but will also investigate a similar incident which took place last year at the same temple. A group representing certain community had entered the temple," Fadnavis said in the statement.
