Chitradurga, Sep 02, 2022: Murugha Mutt seer Shivamurthy Sharana, who was arrested Thursday night in connection with a case of sexually abusing minor girls, has been shifted to district hospital after he complained of chest pain.

The seer, sent to 14 days of judicial custody, was kept in Chitradurga district jail last night.

 

A police team took the seer into custody in the Mutt around 10 pm amid tight security. The pontiff was questioned at an undisclosed location by Deputy Superintendent of Police Anil Kumar, who is also the investigation officer in the case. The investigation team detained Rashmi, a hostel warden and second accused in the case earlier in the day.
