    IndiaMART CEO, two others booked for selling Govardhan Hill rocks
  • The CEO of IndiaMART, an e-commerce site, and two others, were booked on Sunday for allegedly putting up an online sale of Govardhan Hill rocks, the police said.

    Govardhan Hill in Mathura is considered a sacred site for Hindus as it is the setting for many legends relating to Lord Krishna's life who is believed to be embodied in the earth of the hill.
