Jayendra Saraswati acquitted in assault case

 

Kanchi Sankaracharya along with 8 other accused were today acquitted in auditor Radhakrishnan assault case. Radhakrishnan, who was an auditor for the Sankara Mutt, and his wife were attacked with deadly weapons by a gang in 2002. The police has been claiming that this attack was carried on the orders of Jayendra Saraswati, the Sankaracharya of Kanchi.

 

They accused that Jayendra has prompted the attack to silence Radhakrishnan, who has been raising his voice against the irregularities in Sankara Mutt. Jayendra has been under the heat of proceedings on these charges along with the murder case of Sankararaman. In 2013, he was acquitted by the court in the murder case of Sankararaman for lack of witness. And today, the court has also lifted off the assault case against him.
