Two unidentified men allegedly broke into the Sri Angala Parameswari Amman Temple at Kattu Nemili village near Ulundurpet in Kallakurichi district and stole a donation box containing offerings made by devotees.
According to police, the incident occurred late at night a few days ago. The suspects allegedly broke the lock on the temple door, entered the premises and carried away the hundi. They later broke it open and stole the cash inside.
Ulundurpet police visited the temple and began an investigation. They collected footage from the temple’s CCTV cameras, which reportedly captured the two suspects entering the premises, inspecting the donation box and stealing it.
The temple had hosted the Mayana Kollai festival a few months ago, attracting large numbers of devotees who offered money to the deity. Based on this, the stolen hundi is estimated to have contained around Rs. 50,000.
The CCTV footage has since surfaced, causing concern among residents of the village. Based on a complaint, police have launched a search for the two suspects and are continuing their investigation.
