New Delhi: In an embarrassing turn of events that the Kerala government did not forsee when it submitted an affidavit in the Supreme Court claiming 51 women of menstruating age had entered the Sabarimala temple – a list that later got ‘leaked’ – three names on the list turned out to be men, and many others those of women about 51.The list submitted to the SC included names, ages, Aadhaar numbers, addresses, and phone numbers, but it is clear there was a lapse in verifying the names before it was handed in.The Indian Express found that several of the names included were those of women above the age of 50:In at least nine cases, men answered and said they had no connection to the woman on the list, in six cases the person who answered said the age of the woman concerned was higher than mentioned on the list and in two instances they said the age was wrongly entered during the online booking process.Paranjothi, one of the names in the list, was found to be a man by a Quint reporter. “I went on 28 November and worshipped on 29 November. I am a gent. Even in my group there were 16 men, no women (sic),” said Paranjothi.Kerala govt released a list of women of age 10-50 who have entered #Sabarimala & there are glaring errors with age & even includes a man.“I went on 28 Nov and worshipped on 29 Nov.I am gents.Check my Aadhar card.Even in my group,there were 16 men,no women”: Paranjothi.@TheQuint pic.twitter.com/olBKoWKBBf— Smitha T K (@smitha_tk) January 19, 2019The News Minute also found that two other names mentioned in the list also turned out to be men Deivasigamani Pandurangan and Kalavathi.“Deivasigamani is a male; not a female. I erroneously clicked the ‘female’ option when I was booking the ticket for him,” his friend Balaji told The News Minute.Devaswom Minister Kadakampally Surendran Friday said here that 7,564 women had registered online for visiting the hill-top shrine. But many numbers on the list were those of men who had registered for darshan online on behalf of women devotees.“As per the virtual ‘queue’ facility reports, 51 women between the age group of 10-50 have visited the temple. However, we don’t know whether all of them have managed to reach the Sannidhanam (temple complex) and offered prayers or not,” he told reporters in Thiruvananthapuram.The Deccan Chronicle, upon calling one 49-year-old Gowri Arumugam, reached Rajesh, a resident of Bengaluru.“I am distressed by so many calls. I am not Gowri. I was part of a 22-member group that booked online for the darshan. We had darshan on 20 December. There were four women in the group and they were all above 50 years,” Rajesh told Deccan Chronicle.
