Kancheepuram / Kalavai/ Agencies
The Tamil Nadu Government is all set to file a chargesheet against the Kanchi seer in the Sankararaman murder case on January 21. The Special Investigating Team (SIT) probing the case will file a chargesheet before the judicial magistrate on January 21, Superintendent of Police K Premkumar said on Sunday. Senior police officals are working round the clock to give final touches to the chargesheet.
Meanwhile, the SIT moved a petition before a court here for taking the Kanchi
junior pontiff Vijayendra Saraswathi into police custody, according to
mutt advocates here.
Vijayendra, arrested on January 10, was remanded to judicial custody at the Central Prison, Chennai. He was the 25th accused to be arrested in connection with the murder.
However, the Kanchi mutt advocate A Shanmugam on Sunday said he believed the assurance given by the Government that it would not take over the mutt.
"When the Government has given an assurance, definitely, we should believe it. The Home Secretary to Tamil Nadu Government has given an undertaking," he told reporters after meeting Jayendra Saraswathi for over an hour here.
Meanwhile expressing their unflinching faith in the Kanchi seer over 1,500 devotees thronged the mutt's Brindavan complex here, where the pontiff has been camping since last week after his release on bail from Vellore prison on January 11.
Since early morning, there has been an unending stream of devotees, who reached this remote town in Vellore district in all kinds of transport.
Spiritual leader Swami Dayananda Saraswathi of Chinmaya mission arrived
here shortly before noon and called on the seer.
