Ankur Saini/Saharanpur: The festival of Janmashtami is near and devotees are visiting temples every day to worship Laddu Gopal, but the idol of Laddu Gopal suddenly disappeared from a temple in Saharanpur. After this, people who came to worship asked the priest of the temple where Laddu Gopal had gone. When CCTV cameras were checked, a shocking revelation was made.
Let us tell you that a woman who came to worship at the Kali Mata temple of the city in the evening, after worshiping Laddu Gopal, took Laddu Gopal from the temple and took him to her home. After three-four days, when the devotees coming to the temple did not see Laddu Gopal, they asked the temple priest where did the idol of Laddu Gopal go. Hearing this, the temple priest was also shocked and he started investigating it. When the CCTV cameras installed in the temple were checked, a woman who comes to worship in the temple took the idol of Kanha ji and took it to her home. When the people of the temple committee went to the woman’s house and inquired, the woman told that she wanted to serve Kanha ji. That’s why she took him from the temple and brought him to her home. But the woman also did not keep Kanha ji in her house and sent him to her brother’s house far away from here. When the matter reached the police, pressure was put on the woman and the woman installed the idol of Kanha back in the temple.

The people of the temple committee say that the idol of Radha Krishna has been stolen from the temple before as well. CCTV cameras were installed after thefts in the temple several times. If CCTV cameras had not been installed, the theft of the idol would not have been detected this time as well. The people of the temple committee forgave the woman who stole the idol and did not file a report of theft with the police. The woman also accepted her mistake and installed the idol in the temple with her own hands. The woman also swore that she would not take such a step in future.
