Birmaharajpur: Miscreants allegedly looted donation boxes from the Jagannath Temple at Birmaharajpur in Odisha’s Sonepur district.

According to reports, the priest of the temple Biswamitra Chand had closed the temple’s door on Monday night. When he came to the temple for the morning rituals of deities today, found the lock of the Singhadwar (main door) had been cut and two donation boxes placed near the door were not there.

He immediately informed the temple management committee that lodged a complaint at Birmaharajpur Police Station in this regard.

Following the complaint, police initiated a probe into the loot case.

During the investigation, the police found two donation boxes at an abandoned place near the temple.

It is suspected that the miscreants might have fled from the spot with valuables and cash after breaking open the donation boxes and throwing them near the temple.
