The media reported that 3 diamond studied gold crowns stolen from the Tirupati temple complex . The tirupati temples are some of the most famous and richest in India, attracting a large number of devotees from all over India.
The gold crowns were stolen in the 45 minute period when the temple was closed for devotees. The temple was closed at 5 pm, and when it was reopened at 5.45 pm, it was observed that the gold crowns were missing.
These crowns are weighing approximately 1.3 kg and cost crores of rupees according to media reports.
This again highlights the misplaced priorities of indian security agencies, which are hounding harmless citizens, while expensive gold crowns are stolen.
