The two, who were of different castes, were married around two years ago. The woman worked at a bank in Sivananda Colony.

SECURITY AT TEMPLE

Tense moments prevailed at the Koniamman Temple for a while on Friday morning as a few Bharat Sena members wanted to do anga pradakshanam to pray for the defeat of the political parties that worked against the interests of Hindus. The Coimbatore City Police had denied permission for the event but the Sena members said they would go ahead.

When they reached the temple, the Police had a tough time denying them permission. After much wrangling, the members left the place by only offering worship.
