In Sulur, Coimbatore, a lorry loaded with iron rods rammed into the Kizhinji Mandapam situated in front of the Arasur Periya Mariamman temple, causing significant damage to the mandapam structure.
The lorry, which came from Karnataka, was being driven by one Sadhik Basha when it crashed into the mandapam.
Following the incident, the temple authorities demanded compensation for the damages caused to the mandapam. However, the owner of the lorry, identified as Amanullah Khan, offered a meager sum of ₹25,000 as compensation, much to the dissatisfaction of the temple authorities who demanded ₹4 lakhs.
The issue escalated when the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) department intervened. They filed a complaint with the police regarding the incident and the inadequate compensation offered.
In response to the complaint, the police took action and seized the lorry involved in the accident.
