Kerala Bharatiya Janata Party chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Wednesday expressed shock and anguish over the Sabarimala gold theft case, alleging a larger conspiracy by the ruling Left and the previous Congress government to loot and subsequently sell off the temple’s assets. He further called for a CBI probe, saying an SIT “cannot uncover the truth.”Not just 4.5 kg of gold, the former Union Minister wrote on X that “four Panchaloha idols were taken out of Sabarimala and sold to international criminal networks” under the LDF-appointed Devaswom Board.advertisement”As an Ayyappa bhakt, the pain and hurt I felt earlier has now deepened even further,” Chandrasekhar wrote on X.Not sparing the UDF, Chandrasekhar went on to claim that during the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) regime in 2015, parts of the Pathinettam Padi – the 18-step staircase leading to the sanctum of the Sabarimala temple – were tampered with or looted.”Most shocking of all – parts of the sacred Pathinettam Padi, which were replaced during UDF regime in 2015, were tampered with and looted,” he said.”This is not just loot. This is sacrilege. This is a betrayal of Swami Ayyappa and millions of bhakts like me across the world,Meanwhile, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) has intensified its inquiry into the Sabarimala gold theft case after questioning a businessman whose statements have prompted fresh scrutiny.The ongoing investigation follows allegations of temple gold-plated dwarapalaka idols and other valuables being misappropriated, with the Kerala High Court previously ordering the SIT to address unexplained discrepancies in the gold’s weight. Recent developments have led to the arrest of several temple officials and associates of Unnikrishnan Potty, the alleged prime accused.The businessman reportedly told investigators that four panchaloha (sacred, traditional alloy of five metals) idols from the Sabarimala temple were smuggled between 2019 and 2020, and later sold to a Chennai native allegedly linked to an international antique smuggling gang.According to his statement, main accused Unnikrishnan Potty acted as the middleman, while the payment for the transaction was received by a high-ranking person associated with Sabarimala and Potty. Based on this claim, the SIT has launched a probe into the role of the unnamed official and is currently verifying the authenticity of the businessman’s statements.- Ends in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
