In Kerala, the Travancore Devaswom Board on Tuesday, has suspended Deputy Commissioner Murari Babu over alleged irregularities in the gold plating of Sabarimala’s sanctum sanctorum. The board cited procedural lapses, a lack of transparency, and contradictory past orders. Babu had previously declared the Dwarapalaka copper in 2019, but in 2025, he directed it to be re-plated in gold.
