Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday demanded a high-level investigation into the temple ‘prasada’ incident at Maramma temple in Chamarajnagar district to bring the culprits to book.
“I have never heard of temple prasada being poisoned. The incident of this magnitude with 11 people dead and 80-90 people hospitalised with some in critical condition is something unimaginable. I am shocked over the tragedy. It’s a most inhuman act and is deplorable,” he told the reporters after visiting the patients at K.R. Hospital.
