Shillong, May 10: The neighbour’s CCTV may give clues to the theft at the city temple
Goons stole cash from the donation box, idols and other materials from the Hanuman Temple, Garikhana in the city on May 9 around 1 am
Police said on Sunday that investigation was on regarding the incident but there has been no breakthrough.
According to the FIR , the thieves entered the side entrance of the temple after breaking it.
The FIR said the main idol of Lord Hanuman was not touched.
Though the CCTV cameras inside & outside the temple were turned, the CCTV footage from the adjoining house showed some movement of the thieves leaving the premises.
The complainant, Ravi Sharma, handed over the footage in a pen drive making it easy for the police to probe the case.
The list of missing items includes idols of Krishna & Radha, small idol of Hanuman, silver ornaments, small utensils and two each brass pots, big brass plates, brass lamps, brass bowls,and brass thrones.
Earlier, media reports, quoting the police, had said that the CCTVs were torched by the thieves but during a visit to the temple on Sunday, they were found to be intact though they were turned during the break-in.
