A family temple in the Jorasanko area was burgled, with the accused decamping with two ashtadhatu idols of deities, silver ornaments and several temple utensils.Police said the burglary came to light on Nov 8, when the priest arrived for morning rituals. Although he found the main entrance locked from outside, he discovered that a side door had been forced open. A police complaint was lodged. Police said that the family did not live on the premises, recognised as a ‘debottor estate’, due to its dilapidated condition. Cops have registered a case based on the complaint and initiated an exhaustive probe. Law enforcement teams are reviewing available security camera footage in the vicinity and questioning local informants to track down the culprits and recover the antiquities.
