The members of the delegation are Saroj Pandey, Pralhad Joshi, Vinod Sonkar and Nalin Kumar Kateel. The delegation will submit its report within 15 days to Shah. Kerala witnessed a string of violent protests in October over the Supreme Court’s 28 September decision allowing the entry of women of all age groups into the Sabarimala temple. Over 3,505 protesters were arrested and at least 529 cases were filed in connection with the violence.
