K'taka temple trustee hired priest to poison prasad that killed 15
A priest has confessed to mixing insecticides in the temple prasad in Karnataka's Chamarajanagar that killed 15 devotees, police said. An officer said Himmadi Mahadeva Swami, the head of the temple trust, had allegedly hired him to poison the prasad to defame a rival faction of the trust who objected to Swami taking money from the temple's revenue.
