In a video going viral, a shirtless Jabalpur-based thief can be seen taking blessings of Laxmi Goddess before stealing donation boxes from the temple. The incident was reported from Jabalpur’s Sukha village and occurred at a Laxmi Temple. The thief who committed the theft remains absconding and the police are yet to identify him.

In the CCTV footage gone viral, a shirtless thief can be seen making his way into the temple. The man can be seen with a shirt covering his face so that his identity remains unrevealed and hidden. As the man enters the temple premises, he sees the idol of Goddess Laxmi right in front of him.

While most thieves would’ve instantly gone for the donation boxes, or other valuables kept near the idol, the man puts his faith above all. He first bows and takes blessings from the idol and can be seen taking a moment or two to worship the Goddess before the crime.

He then can be seen moving around, and stealing the two donation boxes in the temple. According to reports, the incident occurred earlier on August 5. After finding the donation boxes missing, the temple committee filed a complaint in the matter.

The police have not been able to identify the accused as of yet, and the accused remains absconding.

Before making his way to the donation boxes and fleeing the scene of crime, the man bows down and folds his hands in prayer. He offers the prayers for a few moments – either apologizing for his action or maybe seeking more blessings.
