The Trivandrum police carried out a raid on an office close to Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple and detained 16 wireless sets. Police has recorded the case against executive officer KN Satheesh and others.

However, the order was issued by the administrative committee and chairperson of temple and also by district judge Justice V Shircy.

As per the report says, “The raids took place due to an ego clash between the administrative committee head and executive officer”

KN Satheesh further said that, “the walkie-talkies were brought only for a demo and would be bought only if found feasible. He added that the wireless sets were brought as mobile phones are not allowed in the temple”

"Since mobile phones are not allowed inside the temple, official communication gets affected even when it's crucial," he said
