A person from Rajasthan’s Alwar was caught on CCTV breaking right into a temple and providing prayers earlier than stealing cash and different useful objects. The person has been recognized as Gopesh Sharma (37) and he allegedly solely targets temples.
The CCTV footage taken on Saturday morning confirmed Sharma at a temple in Alwar’s Adarsh Nagar space providing prayers earlier than finally taking out cash from the donation field. He broke the temple’s lock and stole silver jewelry, umbrellas, the cash from the donation field and different objects.
The same incident occurred in one other temple positioned in Pals Colony, Alwar, the place a person was caught on CCTV stealing objects after providing prayers.
After the video of the theft went viral, police arrested Gopesh Sharma after figuring out him from the CCTV footage. Throughout the questioning, he confessed that he had dedicated related thefts at a number of temples.
Police later discovered that Gopesh Sharma solely targets temples. He would scout the temples and, after the priest left for the evening, would break into them to steal the precious objects.
Police are at present looking for his previous information and it’s anticipated that different incidents will even be revealed throughout their investigation.
