Hindu priest stripped, beaten in Malaysian temple

Paush Shuddha Trutiya, Kaliyug Varsha 5111

A Hindu priest was attacked, stripped and shamed in a Malaysian temple for asking for a raise in his salary.

In his police complaint, M Kanagarajan, 27, alleged that he has been working in the temple in Kelana Jaya for the past two years, and was attacked by the temple council president’s son after he had asked for a raise on December 14.

Kanagaraja was reportedly attacked violently and stripped of his veshti in the temple compound in full view of devotees.

Kanagarajan claimed that his numerous requests for an increase in salary and better accommodation facilities were ignored by the temple committee.

He said that he was having lunch with some children in the temple when the president’s son came and accused him of impudence.

The president’s son got angry and started to hit him violently until blood started flowing from his head, claimed the priest.

People rushed to the temple when they heard the clamour, and saved him from the ongoing ordeal, according to his complaint.

 "One of them sent me to a nearby clinic for treatment," he recounted.
