Sankaracharya was under surveillance: Was it a set up?

"Policeman who spied on Jayendrar [Swamigal] for 1 year"
February 14, 2005

When Jayendrar [Swamigal] and Jayalalithaa had a “cold war” going on between them, the police were ordered to keep a close eye on the Shankar Math. Since they [i.e. JJ’s government] might not get full information from the Intelligence Wing, they decided to plant someone inside as a spy. Following this [decision], the Government came forward to give security to Jayendrar [Swamigal].

This job was entrusted to an officer who is very close to The Girlfriend. The officer, whose name includes the word “mutthu”, used to go to the Sankara Math everyday and stand meekly before Jayendrar [Swamigal]. To inspect the Math's security and under the pretext of [giving] the Sankaracharyas security, arrangements were made for 24-hour, round the clock police watch.

In the same way, the Math's chief administrators were also under watch. They [i.e. police] also got permission from Sankaracharya to take pictures of suspicious people who came to the Math. So, they accumulated information about who came, when, at what time, etc. Amongst them, they [gave] most importance when people like actors and actresses or people like Appu [came], shooting off a whole lot of videotape .

The Math people were not in the least suspicious as police said this was done to protect the Math against terrorism. Their phones were also tapped. The close surveillance continued until they knew all the details of the activities of the Math and the people close to Sankaracharya.

After the work was done, that police officer [the one with 'mutthu' in his name] was transferred elsewhere. Following that only, the Shankarraman murder took place.

To help this case, they had already gathered photos, video footage and information to be used in this case, is the sensational rumor.
