New Delhi: Spiritual preacher Jaya Kishori, known for her teachings on non-materialism and detachment, is facing criticism online after being spotted with a high-end calfskin bag worth over Rs 2 lakh at an airport. The 29-year-old preacher was seen in a video clip, now viral on social media, carrying a Dior Book Tote, which, according to the brand’s website, is crafted from cotton with a calfskin lining.

Many social media users took issue with Kishori’s choice of a luxury item containing animal-derived material, which they view as contradictory to her spiritual teachings. One user on the platform ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) remarked, “Spiritual preacher Jaya Kishori deleted her video where she was carrying a Dior bag worth ₹ 2,10,000. She preaches non-materialism and calls herself a devotee of Lord Krishna. Dior uses calf leather for their bags.”

Another user commented, “Jaya Kishori tells people not to be materialistic, yet she herself uses a luxury bag costing over Rs 2 lakh. Most of these preachers are like this, using our religion to profit and live a lavish life.”

Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.

The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.

"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.

The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.

There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.

Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.

The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
