Kanakadurga, one of the two women who entered Sabarimala Lord Ayyappa shrine on January 2, has been disowned by her family and thrown out of her home.
Since then she has moved to a temporary shelter for women called Sakhi One Stop. She had gone back to her in-laws home in Perinthalmanna on Monday evening after finishing her treatment at the Kozhikode Medical College hospital. But her husband and in-laws refused to let her enter the house and asked her to leave.
Though police talked to her husband Krishnanunni, he refused to change his decision. Kanakadurga was attacked by her mother-in-law Sumathi earlier when she had returned home. She was beaten with a log and was taken to the hospital for treatment. On Tuesday, she was taken to her in-laws place by a police team led by woman sub inspector.
A civil servant, Kanakadurga, 39, had entered the temple on January 2 along with Bindhu Ammini, a 40-year-old law lecturer. Their previous attempt to enter the temple on December 24 had failed after protests from devotees. They finally made it to the temple on January 2.
But Kanakadurga's family had said that they were not aware of her plans to enter the temple. They said that she had left home on December 22 saying she had to attend a meeting in Trivandrum.
Now, the family has demanded that she tender an apology to the devotees and the Hindu community.
