In a shocking incident, a young man was caught stealing the silver snake idol from the Shanidev Temple in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur district. The incident was caught on a CCTV camera that was installed nearby. The footage of the same was shared online, which went viral.
Under the pretense of visiting the temple for worship, he meticulously ensured that no one was around before making his move. However, what he overlooked in his otherwise carefully planned act was the presence of a CCTV camera that recorded his every action.
The thief, dressed smartly, approached the sacred Shivling, where a silver snake was coiled around the deity's idol. In a matter of mere two minutes, he calmly opened his bag, retrieved a sack, and deftly removed the silver serpent from the idol. He then swiftly concealed the stolen artifact in the sack and exited the premises, moving with lightning speed.
