A video showing a theft inside a temple in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur is gaining traction on social media. Captured by the CCTV installed inside the temple in Sukha village, it shows a shirtless thief entering the inner sanctum and bowing before the chief deity – a goddess – before committing the crime. The interesting gesture by the thief has given social media users several talking points. Since being uploaded just a day ago on Twitter, the video has gone massively viral, amassing hundreds of thousands views.
The viral video shows the thief, with his face covered, lifting the curtain and entering the inner sanctum of the temple. He gets surprised after seeing a huge statue of the goddess.
The thief then bows before the statue of the goddess and proceeds to steal the donation boxes and other valuables.
The incident took place on August 5 and the police are now analysing the CCTV footage to catch the thief.
