Piplani police has booked miscreants who targeted Jain Mandir at Sonagiri and escaped with valuables worth Rs 3 lakh on Monday.
A complaint was lodged by Narendra Jain of Kalpana Nagar regarding the burglary. Police team acted swiftly after receiving the information.
In the initial investigation, police found that locks of the door were broken to enter the temple by the miscreants. They had escaped with valuables which included a gold vase weighing 72 gm, silver ware and around Rs 20,000 cash.
After the temple management found that the valuables were burgled, a complaint had been lodged with the Piplani police. The temple management claimed that the valuables were worth over Rs 3 lakh.
Police have registered a case under sections 457 and 380 of the IPC and started search for the miscreants. Police suspects that the burglars of the nearby area targeted the temple and burgled the valuables. The temple is not installed with CCTV camera and in the further investigation, footage of the nearby installed CCTV cameras would be investigated to establish the identity of the miscreants.
The miscreants targeted valuables while other things were not disturbed which suggests that the miscreants had already done the recce of the temple premises and later targeted it. Locals have expressed ignorance over the burglary in the initial investigation.
