KOCHI: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) appointed by the Kerala High Court is set to arrest Sabarimala 'Tantri (priest)' K Rajeevar in a second case, following fresh permission granted by the vigilance court, further deepening the high-profile investigation into alleged irregularities linked to the Sabarimala temple.

The SIT has so far filed two separate charge sheets, naming 15 individuals as accused.

The tantri was arrested last week in connection with one of the cases registered by the SIT.
