Madurai city police have registered an FIR against 19 persons based on a complaint from the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department over the alleged illegal registration of properties belonging to a trust established to serve the famous Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple and Alagar Temple. Madurai city police (CCB) registered a case against 19 persons, including two Sub-Registrars, in connection with illegal registration of properties, based on a complaint by Joint Commissioner of Arulmigu #Meenakshi Sundaraswarar Temple in #Madurai. It is learnt that the FIR names private individuals and others suspected of playing a role in the registrations. Investigators will examine whether forged documents, false claims or misuse of the registration process were used to transfer the trust properties. It has also come to light that the same Ilayaraja committed a similar offence involving Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple lands by misusing Section 28 of the Registration Act.”
