Kanchi Jayendra Saraswati's Arrest

Kanchi Shankaracharya, Sri Jayendra Saraswati Even as the entire country was busy celebrating Deepavali, the festival of lights, a team of Tamil Nadu police were busy hunting down Jayendra Saraswati, the Shankaracharya of Kanchi.

TN police arrested the Seer at Mehboobnagar in Andhra Pradesh late on the night of November 12, 2004. He was arrested on charges of murder of Shankararaman, the manager of Sri Varadarajan Temple in Kancheepuram.

The following morning, Indians, especially Hindus, woke up for a rude shock by the news of the Kanchi Seer being arrested and sent to judicial custody for 15 days.

On the one hand, the seer and his counsel say that the arrest was politically motivated, and on the other, the cops say they have incriminating documents to prove the Seer's involvement in the murder of Shankararaman.
