Kancheepuram: In his first public comment on the arrest of his senior in a murder case, Kanchi junior Sankaracharya Vijayendra Saraswathi on Tuesday said he told the special police that Jayendra Saraswathi would not have done this (conspiring to eliminate Sankararaman).

"I told them that he (Jayendra Saraswathi) would not have done this," Vijyendra Saraswathi told the media in his first ever interaction since the arrest of his senior on November 11 in the case.

He was addressing the media on the mutt premises on his return from the special police headquarters, where he was questioned for three hours on Tuesday.
