Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Thefts in temples make headlines very often, however, this time it took an hilarious turn! A gang barged in a temple at Madhya Pradesh’s Shajapur on Tuesday night. They looted whatever little valuables and money they could find in the donation box. While all the masked men left, one of them dozed off in the temple itself and had a goodnight sleep. The next morning, the thief was caught sleeping peacefully on a mattress, right next to the deity.
According to information, the man is a resident of Siliguri and he came to Shajapur along with three companions to loot the temple. The temple’s priest Manoj Rathore said that the thieves broke the lock on the main gate to enter the temple. They searched for valuable items but could not find much.
