==Death==<br />
On the morning of 15 October 1986, Rani Padmini's driver, Jebaraj, watchman Lakshmi Narasimhan alias Kutty, and cook, Ganeshan attacked her mother Indirakumari and killed her. Hearing her mother’s screams, Rani Padmini came to investigate but was overpowered by the men and murdered. The three were, however, arrested and sentenced to life terms. Rani Padmini’s murder caused ripples all over Tamil Nadu and Kerala and it was alleged that the three men were arrested in order to protect a high-profile person who was in close contact with Rani Padmini.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://indiankanoon.org/doc/207803| title=State Of Tamil Nadu vs Kutty @ Lakshmi Narasimhan on 10 August, 2001 |publisher= Malayalam Movie Database|accessdate=11 March 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Narasimhan|first1=T.
