âLiving in the midst of snakesâ
Vellore , Dec 14:
JAYENDRAR HAS BEEN LIVING IN THE MIDST OF SNAKES.
Jayendrar, arrested in the case of murder of Sankaraman, has been jailed in the males section of Vellore Central Jail.
The C Block in which Jayendrar is lodged in a secluded place. Near this a drainage runs. The C Block was vacant for quite some months. This was cleaned in a hurry on arrival of Jayendrar.
The prison wardens report that because of the drainage surrounding the cell and because of the jungle like thorny bush around the cell this place is infested with snakes. <b>Reports say that snakes are found even in the day time and in the night it is worst.
There are six rooms in this cell. All the other rooms except that of Jayendrar
are vacant. A cobra of 5 feet length was spotted a few days back in the room adjacent to that of Jayendrar.</b>
This was spotted by the night wardens and they called others who killed the snake. It was buried there itself on the orders of authorities.
There are a lot of snakes around the cell and the wardens are worried that Jayendrar is staying amongst the snakes.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->They'd purposely put the Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati in the cell that they wouldn't even put regular criminals in.
Nearly forgot. Came to this thread to post the following site as a good resource on the Kanchi Shankaracharya - has lots of news articles translated from Thamizh:
http://sankaracharyaarticles.blogspot.com/...lice-story.html
But it doesn't appear to have any information on that more recent case you posted on, Mudy.
Do you have any news on how he is now? Has he been cleared, is he free or on bail or are the christians among the police torturing him in prison yet again?
