Appeal to Transfer Seer Case

If you feel that there is a political conspiracy behind the arrest of Shankaracharya and justice is being denied to him, please write to Chief Justice of India for immediate transfer of this case out of Tamil Nadu.

Remember the outcry over the Ansal Plaza shootout in Delhi when the police had killed a couple of terrorists? Or how Ishrat Jahan was portrayed as an innocent college girl after she was killed with her armed Islamist associates by the Gujarat police? In each case, the 'Pseudo-secularists' disbelieved and discredited the authorities, deliberately picked holes in the official version and declared the terrorists as innocent, even before the trial.

In contrast, the stories on Shankaracharya are based entirely on the assumption of “guilt”. The “Secularists” have happily accepted the TN govt's version of the story and are publishing baseless reports without providing any evidence. Suddenly, the trigger-happy policemen who are devils while dealing with terrorists, Jihadis and the ISI agents have turned into epitome of virtue.

This letter is addressed to Honorable Chief Justice of India, Dept of Legal Affairs, National Human Rights Commission, President of India, Prime Minister of India, Opposition leader, TN Chief Minister and AP Chief Minister, Madras High Court (what they can do?)

Subject: Request to Transfer the Shankaracharya case out of Tamil Nadu

TO: Honorable Chief Justice of India,

I am writing this letter as our country is watching in disbelief, the unfolding political drama since the arrest of Kanchi Shankaracharya.

The manner in which Kanchi Shankaracharya was arrested, detained and interrogated by the TN police have left millions of Indians with the feeling that justice is being denied in this case. Several media reports clearly suggest that this is a politically motivated, vindictive arrest with a strong possibility of political conspiracy against the institution of Shankaracharya and the Mutt.

First of all, the Shankaracharya was arrested in Hyderabad and flown to Chennai without having access to his lawyers for several hours. The allegations by TN police that the Shankaracharya could have fled the country are totally baseless and ridiculous in the view of the fact that he is 71 years old, suffers from diabetes, reportedly does not have a passport and has not traveled abroad in his entire life. Were the Supreme-Court guidelines followed in the arrest, detention and interrogation of the Acharya?

The prison rules in Tihar jail are suitably changed to accommodate the dietary requirements (including timings) for Muslim convicts during Ramzan. The Shankaracharya is merely an innocent till proven guilty. But no such consideration has been shown to him so far. Why?

Even before the trail has started, few of the accused have admitted before the court that their confessions to the police (that were used to arrest Acharya) were obtained under extreme torture. Key suspect, Rajni, told the court that “his teeth and hands were broken” in the custody. Another accused, Kathiravan, said he could not write because the police had broken his hands. They have pointed finger to the police as fabricators of the case itself!

In another serious contradiction, the TN police had all along claimed that “Srirangam Usha" was involved in the murder of temple manager Shankar Raman in which the seer is the first accused. After two days of questioning, police failed to find any evidence of Usha’s involvement in the case. The prosecution had to turn around and declare her innocent on Dec 01.

It would be improper to include all the details in this letter, but several such contradictions and examples of possible fabrications can be found in various reports here:

It is a very sad state of our nation where, on one hand, we have a minister in the central govt having charge of Jharkhand massacre on him, we also have ministers that were involved in the Genocide of thousands of innocent Sikhs in 1984.........And on the other hand we have this extremely shocking situation where the state police seem to have fixed the Acharya as the culprit from day one and begun collecting the evidence to that effect. With the developments so far, it appears that the TN police are acting with the intent other than providing the justice in this case.

With the state govt apparently misusing the law and order machinery to fabricate the evidence, I do not feel that the Shankaracharya can get the justice at the hands of TN police in TN court. In my view, the justice is possible only if this case is transferred out of Tamil Nadu or handed over to CBI.

In view of all the above, I would request the Supreme Court of India to consider this collective request by the online Indian community for intervening in this case and to consider transferring the case to a different state or to the CBI at the earliest. Tamil Nadu police should not be allowed to investigate in this case any further. Also, Andhra Pradesh should not be considered for this transfer, because that state was involved in the arrest.

I hope the law is equal for all in our country and I wish justice be done in this case.

Sincerely,

Your Name
Country of Residence
