Sabarimala Gold Scam: Potty Used Untraceable Men, Say Investigators
Sabarimala Gold Scam: Potty’s “Sacred Games” Used Untraceable Men, Say Police
Thiruvananthapuram: The Sabarimala gold scam has entered a new phase. Investigators now claim Unnikrishnan Potty may have organized a secretive network to smuggle gold from the temple. Reports suggest he used unknown men who left no fingerprints or physical traces. Their identities remain unconfirmed.
Anonymous Men and No Fingerprints Baffle Investigators
Police say the suspects did not belong to the temple administration. They appeared briefly, completed their tasks, and vanished. Surveillance footage revealed little, and forensic teams found no useful evidence.
A senior officer explained, “This wasn’t a careless act. These people knew exactly how to stay off the radar.” Investigators are now reviewing financial records and internal temple logs to track their movements. However, with no biometric or material evidence, progress has been slow.
Public Outrage Grows as Probe Widens
As new details emerge, public trust in temple oversight continues to erode. Political leaders from across Kerala have demanded a full, independent investigation. “This is more than theft. It’s a betrayal of spiritual trust,” said an opposition MLA at a press conference.
The Travancore Devaswom Board, which oversees temple operations, has promised cooperation. But critics argue that transparency is still lacking. Some religious groups are calling for a full audit of temple gold and donations.
Meanwhile, Potty’s legal team denies all allegations. They insist he followed temple rituals and accuse political groups of defamation.
Investigators are expected to question several senior temple staff this week. While no arrests have been made, sources confirm that authorities are close to identifying potential collaborators.
The case has stirred strong emotions across the state. Sabarimala, one of the most sacred sites in India, holds deep cultural and religious value. Many see this scandal as not just a legal issue, but a spiritual crisis.
As the investigation continues, the public awaits accountability. The government has promised updates, but so far, the mystery only deepens.
