Miscreants loot donation boxes of Ganjam temple
Berhampur: Unidentified miscreants allegedly looted the hundis (donation boxes) of Dalkhai temple on Saturday night after locking its priest inside the shrine. The incident came to light on Sunday when the priest, Padma Charana Rana, came out of the locked room with help from nearby villagers. The temple is located on National Highway-16 at Sanaghati near Khallikote under Rambha police station limits in Ganjam district. Though the exact amount looted is not known yet, the temple management committee members said it might be around Rs 1 lakh. The donation boxes were last opened during Dusshera last year and the temple authorities were planning to open them again during this year's Durga Puja. The thieves entered the temple and locked the room where the priest was asleep and also damaged at least three CCTV cameras installed inside the premises before looting the cash. The miscreants, however, did not take any ornaments of the deity. Kumar Mudulli, inspector in-charge of Rambha police station, said they have registered a case in this regard and launched an investigation. "The incident was captured in the CCTV camera and its footage would help police crack down the case. We suspect at least three persons were involved in the robbery," he added.
