Unidentified miscreants allegedly broke the Hundi (donation box) at the ladu Baba temple in Nayagarh district on Friday night and looted lakhs of rupees from it.
The incident came to light after priests of the temple found the locks of the donation box broken on Saturday morning. The looted amount was estimated to be lakhs of rupees as the box had not been opened for the last one year, reports said.
On being informed, police reached the spot and started investigation on the basis of footages captured by the CCTV cameras at the temple.
Images of two persons were captured in the CCTV cameras during the loot, the reports added.
