idol theft

COIMBATORE: It is ironic that a state which boasts of religious fervour has been seeing an increasing number of idol thefts over the years. As many as three idol theft cases have been registered in Western Tamil Nadu between January 1, 2012 and July 15, 2012. At least six panchaloha idols were stolen from three temples in Coimbatore, Tirupur and Namakkal districts and two idols were seized from thieves. Namakkal police arrested four persons in connection with the theft of idols. The Joint Commissioner of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department has 515 temples in Coimbatore, Nilgiris, Tirupur and Erode districts with annual revenue of more than 10,000 rupees under its purview. The remaining 3487 temples with annual revenue less than 10,000 rupees are under the purview of the assistant commissioners of the department.

5 Panchaloha idols stolen December 17, 2012 Idols stolen from tem ple in Tirupur July 17, 2012 Three panchaloha idols stolen from Nagai August 10, 2010

According to police, temples in the western region are relatively safe and secure when compared to the rest of Tamil Nadu as only seven idol theft cases were reported from eight districts. At least eight accused were arrested based on these complaints. "We are ensuring proper security at the temples in Coimbatore district and have instructed department officials to install CCTVs and burglar alarms in all the important temples. We have formed a 'Temple Protection Force' and deployed 13 persons in temples. We have planned to deploy another 58 persons soon," said E S Uma, superintendent of police, Coimbatore district. On June 15, 2012, three panchaloha idols were stolen from Thiruvengadamudaiya Srinivasa Perumal temple at Nadupatti village about 22 km away from Tirupur city. The thieves had disconnected the burglar alarm wire and decamped with Srinivasa Perumal, Sridevi and Poodevi idols. The temple did not have any CCTVs. "We had no clues about the theft and a special team is working on cracking the case. We will arrest the culprits soon," said Asra Garg, SP, Tirupur district. On June 3, 2012, a gang broke open the front door lock of the Kariakaliamman temple at Paduvampalli near Karumathampatti. The gang decamped with a Vinayagar idol, one sovereign gold necklace and silver articles from the temple. The culprits are yet to be nabbed. On March 3, 2012, two panchaloha idols were stolen from the Perumal temple at Perakarainadu in Namakkal district. Police have arrested the four-member gang that committed the theft.
