In a display of startling audacity, a thief was captured on camera, stealing jewellery from Hanuman Tekri temple in Madhya Pradesh's Guna.
Interestingly, what makes it no ordinary case of theft is that the thief after entering the temple, bowed down his head before God's idol with folded hands, as if seeking an apology, and then stole the valuables.
The pretense of worshipful submission stood in stark contrast to his subsequent actions, as he ruthlessly plundered the temple’s sacred treasure troves. The brazen act of theft has left netizens surprised.
He was accompanied by his another associate who helped him in executing the robbery.
The robbers absconded with an array of precious jewellery, including Lord Hanuman's headgear, leaving behind an indelible scar on the spiritual haven.
The video of the theft was shared on X (formerly Twitter), with a caption, "Thieves have committed robbery in Hanuman Tekri temple in Guna, Madhya Pradesh, First they folded their hands infront of Hanuman Murti and then took away all the jewellery."

Fear and faith in God are also there in it, but these empty stomachs, greed, unemployment, all these things are probably outweighing the faith and fear.
