The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has appointed a retired high court judge to investigate the disappearance of idols and jewels from the Adikesava Perumal temple in Thiruvattar, Kanniyakumari district.
While the rainfall in Kanyakumari district had decreased for the past two days, on Monday afternoon, heavy rainfall accompanied by thundershowers occurred across the district, including Thuckalay, Thiruvattar, Kulasekaram, Marthandam, and Nagercoil, which led to the flooding of the canals.
Thiruvattar Police said they have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the October 3 incident in which a woman and her two children died.
