Former Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) president and CPI(M) leader A Padmakumar was arrested on Thursday in connection with the Sabarimala temple missing gold case. Padmakumar was the TDB president in 2019 when the board examined a proposal to hand over the gold-clad copper plates to prime accused Unnikrishnan Potty for electroplating. He was arrested after hours of questioning.
