Kanchi Seer threatened to bump me off: Tamil writer
Monday, November 29 2004 22:42 Hrs (IST)

Chennai: In more trouble for Kanchi Shankaracharya arrested in the case of murder of his Mutt's former official, well-known Tamil writer today (Nov 29, 2004) alleged those close to the Sankara Mutt had made attempts on her life.

Writer Anuradha Ramanan told reporters in Chennai that she was invited by a woman, close to the Mutt, to the Mutt as it had plans to start a religious magazine "Amma" in 1992.

She had visited the Mutt and met the Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswathi five times then. During one of the meetings, she alleged the Seer had threatened her life.

Ramanan said she had consulted a woman police officer, who is close to her, on lodging a complaint but did not do so as the future of her daughters would be spoilt.

She charged some persons attempted to kill her by having a lorry dash against a car in which she was travelling.

Another attempt was made on her life when she was admitted to a hospital, she alleged.

Recently, the chief of the special team, probing the Sankararaman murder case, Premkumar, accompanied by a woman Inspector Saraswathi, had interrogated Ramanan and she had given a detailed statement, she said.
