Man who got Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple riches revealed dies

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Advocate TP Sunderarajan, the 1964-batch IPS officer whose legal intervention led to the stock-taking of Sree Padmanabha Swamy temples colossal assets, died on Sunday, spurring talks of divine retribution among the believers. The 70-year-old passed away at about 12.45am at his brothers home around 30 metres from the shrines west entrance. A family source said Sunderarajan, who was otherwise in good health, was uneasy and feverish for the last two days. On Saturday evening, he complained of wheezing and said he would not last until Sunday morning. He refused to take any medicine or go to a hospital. At about 12.45am on Sunday, he said he wanted to go to the toilet, but collapsed before he could step in, a family source said. While some said his sudden death was divine retribution, others asserted he was not put through any suffering of old age. Stories of how tragedy had befallen those who entered the shrine, too, did the rounds during the day, but these could not be confirmed. Sunderarajans health, who was behind the legal intervention for the stock-taking of Keralas Sree Padmanabha Swamy temples assets, deteriorated on Saturday evening. He had said he would not last until Sunday morning. His family members chose to dismiss his apprehensions; apparently he had said the same thing earlier as well.
