Tamil Nadu: Gold Coins Allegedly Stolen By HR&CE Temple Executive Officer
Tamil Nadu HR&CE Department
Vetrivel, a temple executive officer working under the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department (HR&CE), was arrested for stealing gold coins weighing 30 grams during the collection of donations received in the hundis of the Sri Mariamman Temple at Samayapuram in Tiruchirapalli.
The police arrested him after going through the CCTV footage of the temple. He is an officer from the Sri Erumbeeswarar Temple in nearby Thiruverumbur, who had come on special duty for the donation collection process.
The incident comes after the Supreme Court issued notice to the Tamil Nadu government, in a petition related to temple control filed by Indic Collective, an organisation headed by T R Ramesh.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
