KANCHEEPURAM, DEC. 25. The junior Acharya of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, Sri Vijayendra Saraswathi, has been summoned to appear before the special investigation team probing the Sankararaman murder case and other cases relating to the Kanchi Sankara Mutt. Enquiries show that the team wanted the junior Acharya to appear before it at the investigation bungalow behind the camp office of the Superintendent of Police at 10 a.m. tomorrow for questioning in connection with the cases relating to the Mutt. This is the first time the police will be questioning the junior Acharya in connection with the cases. Several associates of the Kanchi Mutt, including its Manager, Sundaresa Iyer, who was arrested on December 24 night, the Mutt Administrator, Neelakanta Iyer, a personal assistant to the Kanchi Sankaracharya, `Neyveli' Krishnamurthy, and the brother of the junior Acharya, Raghu, have been questioned by the police in connection with the murder case. The special investigation team has also summoned `Bombay' Shankar, an industrialist, to appear before the team here tomorrow since it wants to question him in connection with the cases relating to the Mutt. Enquiries show that the junior Acharya will be coming to the investigation bungalow around 2 p.m. tomorrow instead of at 10 a.m. The Kamakshi Amman temple administrator and advocate of the Kanchi Mutt, K.S. Chellapa, told reporters later that after receiving the summons, the Mutt's lawyers met the police and explained to them that it would not be possible for Sri Vijayendra Saraswathi to appear before the team at 10 a.m. as he had to complete special pujas being conducted at the Mutt in view of "dhanur masya vratham." The police then agreed that the Acharya could come to the investigation centre in the afternoon.
