Three unidentified thieves barged into Mata Naina Devi temple in Shimlapuri and committed a theft on Monday night. Interestingly, when the suspects failed to open donation boxes (golaks), they took them along on a cart.

The temple management committee informed the Shimlapuri police after they got to know about the theft. The police on Tuesday registered a case and launched a probe into the matter.

Dr Avinash, a member of the committee, said he received a call from his acquaintance Luv Kumar who told him that the lock of the main gate of the temple was found broken. He, along with other committee members, were shocked to see that three golaks were missing.
