Chennai, July 25 (IANS) Swadeshi Jagran Manch convener S. Gurumurthy was Monday handed copies of a charge sheet for "distracting the police from doing their job" while probing a murder charge against the Kanchipuram Shankaracharyas.
Columnist Gurumurthy received the 26-page charge sheet at the judicial magistrate's court in the temple town of Kanchipuram.
A warrant was issued against him last month on a petition filed by the police, accusing him of "withholding information from the special team" investigating the murder of temple official A. Sankararaman in September.
Gurumurthy had written several articles after Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswathi, a main accused in the case, was arrested in November, questioning the police investigation.
The investigating team had questioned him in January and alleged that he "was withholding vital clues and misleading the police" in the case.
The state had the slapped a contempt case against him. The police had also issued a warrant against Gurumurthy, who surrendered before the magistrate's court and was granted bail.
