MALAPPURAM: Kanaka Durga, who was in the news recently for her daring entry into the Sabarimala shrine and later came under attack by her in-laws, has been driven out of her home.

The woman activist has been lodged in 'One Stop Centre', a government-run shelter home at Perinthalmanna.

She was forced to stay at the home after her brother Bharat also disowned her and told her she would not be allowed to enter his house at Areekode. She must tender an apology to the devotees of Lord Ayyappa and the Hindu community if she wants to return, said Bharat.

Kanaka Durga approached Perinthalmanna police after she was discharged from Kozhikode Government Medical College where she underwent treatment for the last few days. She was hospitalised on January 15 after she was allegedly beaten by her mother-in-law. She suffered injuries on her head and ear. The police, however, managed to take her to the nearby One Stop Centre.

Perinthalmanna Circle Inspector T S Binu said she had been given adequate security. Led by Perinthalmanna sub-inspector P S Manjith Lal, a 10-member police team has been deployed at the locality.

Earlier, the Supreme Court had ordered full-time security to Kanaka Durga and Bindu. After she came under attack by her mother-in-law, Kanaka Durga's brother Bharat Bhooshan too had turned against her.

It was in the first week of January that Kanaka Durga, along with Bindu, managed to enter the hill temple. She left home in the second week of December to attend a meeting at Thiruvananthapuram. But, on December 24, she attempted to visit Sabarimala along with Koyilandy native Bindu. But they were forced to abandon their trip due to strong protests from a section of devotees at Pamba and Sannidhanam. The family of Kanakadurga was not aware of her plan to visit the hill shrine.
