Accordingly On early Tuesday morning, a video journalist was injured after protesting devotees targeted media persons at Sabarimala. Reports added hundreds of protesters gathered at Sannidhanam or the inner courtyard after reports of a woman devotee, suspected to be in menstrual age, tried to enter the temple.
Meanwhile the police confirmed that 52 year old Lalithaa, from Thrissur had come to the temple with her son and she was forced to show her Aadhaar card to prove her age and police said she is 52 years old. Furthermore her attempt to get inside the shrine was foiled and she was shifted to a police camp. A police official said, "We have information a woman on way to the temple but nobody has approached us so far for security."
Moreover the Sabarimala shrine opened on Monday for the second time for a two day special prayer. Reports added the temple was opened for Sree Chithira Attathirunal pooja, an offering to honor the last king of the erstwhile Travancore dynasty Sree Chithira Tirunal Balarama Varma. Meanwhile Sabarimala virtually turned into a fortress with hundreds of police personnel, including armed commandos, dotting the place where surveillance cameras and mobile phone jammers were installed.
