Attempted theft at Thiru-Eengoimalai temple
Locks were broken at the Thiru-Eengoimalai temple in an attempted robbery, but no items were reported stolen.
An attempted theft was reported at the Maragathachaleswarar Hill Temple in Thiru-Eengoimalai, near Musiri in Tiruchirapalli district. When priests arrived at the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department-managed temple yesterday morning, they found the locks on the temple doors, main hall, and sanctum sanctorum broken.
However, no jewelry or cash was stolen. Locals are concerned as this follows a major theft of a maragatha lingam from the same temple 25 years ago. Devotees have demanded the installation of CCTV cameras for better security.
