Chilkur Balaji Temple Priest Attacked: What’s The Story?

The chief priest of the famous Chilkur Balaji Temple, Ranga Rajan is one of the proactive individuals in the Telugu spiritual scene and is a respected guru. However, something unexpectedly strange and disturbing happened as the head priest was attacked by a gang of goons.

Few individuals who proclaimed themselves as the descendants of Ikshwaku clan and want to form Rama Rajya in which they create private armies to punish the people who do not accept their mission allegedly attacked Ranga Rajan when he declined to get associated with them.

Soundararajan, the father of Ranga Ranjan stated “They seriously manhandled my Son Shri Rangarajan who is also Archaka of Shri Chilkur Balaji Deity. They landed blows on him in our house at Chilkur which is adjacent to Shri Chilkur Balaji temple premises on Feb 7ª Friday.”

The police are currently investigating the incident and they have reportedly arrested a man named Veera Raghava Reddy. Allegedly some 20 other men are involved with this incident and the police operation is underway to identify and arrest all of them.
