Silver ornaments worth approximately Rs 2 lakh stolen from the Sawariya Seth Mandir in Mandla, Bhilwara, were returned to the temple premises two days after the incident.
A theft case involving silver jewellery in Mandla, a town in Bhilwara district, took an unexpected turn when the stolen items were returned to the temple two days after the incident. The ornaments, valued at approximately Rs 2 lakh, had been taken from the Sawariya Seth Mandir.
According to local reports, the suspect left a bag containing the silver ornaments within the temple premises. Along with the jewellery, the individual also left an envelope containing Rs 201. The return of the items was discovered by temple authorities or locals, leading to the recovery of the stolen property.
While the physical recovery of the jewellery has alleviated immediate financial loss for the temple, local authorities are likely to investigate the circumstances surrounding the theft and the subsequent return of the items. The specific motive behind the act remains under scrutiny, with the unusual detail of the small cash envelope adding to the mystery of the incident.
