SP's temple visit sparks allegation of Agama violation
The New Indian Express Villupuram
|July 24, 2025
A video purportedly showing a staff member of Perur Patteeswarar Temple taking a Superintendent of Police (SP) inside the shrine to facilitate darshan for him even after the closure of the sanctum has stirred up a controversy.
While the Lord Shiva devotees have been up in arms about the incident since the video went viral on Tuesday and sought the HR&CE department officials to take action against the staff member, the department officials have clarified that the SP visited the shrine before the temple was closed.
One of the devotees staged a sit-in on Wednesday seeking action against the HR&CE officials.
