In a shocking incident at the Nachadai Thavirtharuliya Swamy temple in Rajapalayam, two guards were brutally hacked to death during an attempted robbery, prompting a wave of political backlash across the state.

Political leaders, including AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami and BJP state president Nainar Nagendran, have levied severe criticism at the ruling DMK government for its alleged failure to maintain law and order.
