Kancheepuram: Four persons have been asked to appear before the Special Investigation Team, probing various cases related to the Kanchi Mutt, in connection with the Tirukottiyar Madhavan assault case.

SP K Premkumar, who is coordinating the investigations, clarified that the employees had only been asked to appear before the SIT and not summoned, as some reports suggested.

"Some employees have been asked to come to Kanchi sometime next week, not summoned, for interrogation into what they may know in this case," he told sources in Kancheepuram.

Meanwhile, a unit of the SIT, camping in Tirunelveli since last week, has been making enquiries in and around Thirukottiyur, Valliyur and Thirukurunkudi areas in connection with the case.
