Probe Finds No Hindu Group Request to Exclude Women from Eiffel Tower Visit

A French police investigation has concluded that the Hindu religious organization BAPS did not ask for women to be excluded from an event at the Eiffel Tower. The probe was initiated after reports surfaced about female employees being asked to leave during a private visit by the group. The General Inspectorate of Public Safety stated it found no explicit request from the delegation to exclude women from the entire procession. The findings contradict earlier media narratives surrounding the incident. The information was reported by French newspaper Le Parisien.
