Krishnan, who hails from Melacheval old village street near Munneerpallam next to Nellai, was working as a temporary employee at the Navaneethakrishna Swamy temple there.
On the 15th, a gang of 7 people from the same area hacked him to death in the temple premises. Munneerpallam police have registered a case and arrested 7 people in this regard and are investigating.
The murder is said to have taken place on Pongal day when Krishna reprimanded those who were drinking alcohol in the temple premises.
Following this, Krishnan’s relatives are protesting against buying the body. For the past 3 days, they have been engaged in a sit-in protest in their native village Melachewal, refusing to buy the body.
In this situation, BJP State President Annamalai has posted a tweet regarding the incident of killing a temple employee in Nellai.. The reply was, “The incident of Mr. Krishnan, a temple employee of the Hindu Religious Charitable Department from Nellai Melacheval village, was hacked to death inside the temple premises after he was asked to sit on the wall of the temple while drinking alcohol.
One thing is how badly law and order is broken in Tamil Nadu. The Hindu Religious Endowment Department, which is supposed to prevent irregularities and illegal activities in temples, aims only at the money of the temple bill and leaves out the basic facilities and security required by the temples.
All over Tamil Nadu, the opening of liquor shops for business has led to youth committing such crimes.
On behalf of the Tamil Nadu BJP, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu should immediately provide suitable relief to the family of the deceased temple workers and that the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu should not only make the DMK chief’s family happy, but the minister should immediately ensure proper security for the temple workers and property. Annamalai posted that I insist.
