Anantha Pathmanathan (45), son of Subramanya Sharma and resident of LIC Colony in Sundarapuram, Coimbatore, has been identified as the deceased. He has been supplying hardware to IT companies. He maintained the sandalwood tree that he had grown on his own for about 10 years on the premises of his house.

When I awoke at 12 p.m. on Sunday night, as usual, the sandalwood tree was still there, but when I awoke at 5 a.m. on Monday morning, it was discovered that the sandalwood tree had been cut down and the middle part had been stolen by the miscreants.

Following this, Anantha Pathmanathan informed sundarapuram police. The police rushed to the spot and are on the lookout for the miscreants who cut down the sandalwood tree and smuggled it.
