MYSORE, MARCH 1. A man accused in a murder case was hacked to death at a temple in Mandya district this morning. According to the police, the victim, Cheeranahalli Shankar, 42, was attacked by a gang of six armed men at the Kalamma temple near a sugar factory. Shankar, who had bought a new two-wheeler, had gone to the temple to perform puja. After the puja, Shankar was bowing before the deity when the assailants chopped his neck with a hatchet, the police said. Seeing the attack, the devotees who had come to the temple ran helter-skelter. The police said that Shankar had been named as one of the accused in the murder of S.K. Ramanna, Editor of Udayakala, a local Kannada daily. Police personnel who had been deployed at the Deputy Commissioner's office, as the counting of votes polled in the gram panchayat elections was under way, rushed to the spot. They shifted the body of Shankar to Mandya General Hospital. As news of his death spread, a large crowd gathered before the hospital, leading to tension on the Mysore-Bangalore highway. Traffic was held up for a while before the police dispersed the crowd.
