Barely a week after the idol wing of Tamil Nadu (TN) police got cracking on the Palani temple case probing the alleged irregularities in the making of the idol, it has been transferred out of its hands to that of the Crime Branch CID (CB-CID).

The Idol wing headed by Inspector-General of Police A G Ponn Manickavel had registered a case on 22 March 2018 and in three days time arrested the chief sthapathi (temple sculptor) of the TN government and the temple’s former executive officer K K Raja for their involvement in the same.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
