Vasu, who earlier served as the Board's Commissioner before becoming its president, has been named as the third accused in the case over the disappearance of gold from the door frames of the sreekovil (sanctum sanctorum) and its surrounding halo at the hill shrine.

The Special Investigation Team said Vasu, who allegedly committed the offence while serving as Devaswom Commissioner, was arrested on Tuesday and is now in judicial custody.
