Kancheepuram Temple

A person was killed and five others got injured on Sunday in Tamil Nadu's Kancheepuram district when an unidentified object they found in a temple pond exploded, police said. The incident was not connected with the current terror alert in the state, they added.

A two-minute video of a bureaucrat in Tamil Nadu abusing and threatening a police officer over devotees being allowed into a VIP enclosure at a temple has gone viral.

The Tamil Nadu government on Thursday denied that a stampede at the Kancheepuram temple led to the death of four devotees, claiming that the victims, including two women, died due to pre-existing health conditions.

Suspecting that men who claimed to be renovating a temple were actually hunting for a hidden treasure, residents of Pullaloor near Kancheepuram lodged a police complaint.
