As per the information, when devotees reached the temple in the morning to offer their prayers on Tuesday, they found the idol of Goddess Kali broken and lying on the ground.
IIT Guwahati in its RTI response also claimed that the temple has been on the campus even before the institute came up and has been there since 'time immemorial'.
The Tamil Nadu Government's long-drawn effort to acquire the temple lands to allegedly hand it over to the squatters has been impeded by the Madras High Court.
