Unknown miscreants broke into a temple in Pondicherry and stole one lakh rupees from the hundi, causing a huge uproar in the area.
A large number of devotees visit Sengaluneer Amman temple on Villianur Main Road in Arumbarthapuram, Pondicherry, on a regular basis. It was customary to perform pooja both in the morning and evening at this temple. After completing the evening pooja on April 9th, the temple priest locked the temple and returned home.
As the priest returned the next morning to open the temple, he discovered that the side door was broken. Miscreants broke down the temple’s gate, smashed the hundi, and stole the money inside. Based on the complaint filed by the temple authority, Police and Forensic experts rushed to the scene. The CCTV footage of nearby houses was also checked to nab the criminals. The priest said the hundi would have contained money to the tune of one lakh rupees, donated by devotees. The incident where the temple hundi was looted has caused a great stir in the area.
