Balasore: Putting a big question mark over the safety and security of the temples in the district, some unidentified miscreants looted valuable jewellery and cash from at least five temples located in Sabira panchayat under Soro Police limits last night.

Radha Krushna temple of Chalismada, Chandi temple of Dandapalasa, Radha Krushna temple of Agapada along with Patrasuni and Jagulai temple of Sabira villages in the panchayat were found looted.

The loot came to fore after priests reached the temples for morning puja ritual and found the doors open. Later they called up Soro Police and reported the matter.

While the gold chains and silver crowns of the deities were found looted from the temples during police investigation, donation cash stashed inside the ‘Hundis’ were also found missing.

Police have started an investigation into the incident.
