Noted saint and philosopher Swami Thathvabodhananda was beaten to death by unknown assailants at his apartment complex in Puducherry on the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday (29 August), Tamil Daily Dinamalar has reported.


The murder was discovered by the security guard of the Gokulam apartment complex who then notified the cops. As per the report, the guard was taking care of the apartment’s affairs on the intervening night when two unknown men barged in and began behaving aggressively.

Fearing for his life, he fled the scene and took shelter at a petrol pump for the night. He later returned to the apartment complex in the morning and found blood stains in the doorway and discovered the murder.


Two separate units have been set up by the police to track down the criminals. The cops claim that had they been informed of the crime sooner they would have been able to promptly catch the killers.

The deceased Swami had recently been protesting against the use of drugs of alcohol near his apartment and cops are trying to determine whether the killers were aggravated by this.
