The Kerala High Court has ordered a thorough investigation into the Sabarimala temple gold theft, stating it appears to be part of a broader conspiracy involving Travancore Devaswom Board officials at multiple levels. Court documents reveal approximately 475 grams of temple gold remain unaccounted for after sponsor Unnikrishnan Potti was improperly given custody of gold-plated idols in 2019, with evidence suggesting deliberate mishandling and potential cover-up attempts.
