Srirangam temple land probe: DMK functionary booked over encroachment
Police have registered an FIR and launched a multi-department probe into the alleged illegal transfer, with officials citing archival deeds and registration records.
- In Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister Ramesh announced a formal police investigation into the fraudulent transfer of Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple property, allegedly by a DMK functionary.
- Ramesh alleged the accused created a fake "missing original deed" certificate from Puducherry police to bypass registration protocols; historical documents from 1866 confirm the land, valued at Rs 50 crore, belongs to the temple.
- Despite an administrative warning against transferring the plot, the DMK functionary allegedly converted the site into a party office, with Ramesh asserting, "'A' Register categorise the land as religious property."
- An FIR has been registered and a multi-departmental investigation launched to identify involved officials, with Ramesh stating that those responsible for the misappropriation "will not be allowed to escape."
- Devotees across Tamil Nadu are urged to submit evidence regarding any illegal occupation of temple properties in the past five years to the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department for further inquiry.
