TUMAKURU: Unidentified miscreants who stole two hundis (offering boxes) from a temple in Menasinahalli village of Kunigal taluk, Tumakuru, on Saturday night left them outside it 24 hours later. The intact locks of the hundis indicate no attempt was made to open them, police said.
The theft occurred at Sri Bettada Ranganathaswamy temple and came to light when the priest arrived on Sunday morning. A police complaint was lodged by Manjunath ML, a temple committee member. Other than the hundis, nothing was stolen.
