Quote:T.P. Sundara Rajan, member of the committee appointed by the Supreme Court to take an inventory of the underground vaults at the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple, passed away here early on Sunday morning. He was 70. He was cremated later in the morning.
It was a petition filed by Mr. Sundara Rajan, a former IPS officer and lawyer, that led to the Supreme Court directive to open the temple vaults and the subsequent discovery of a treasure trove of gold and other valuables.
