After a person came to the temple for darshan at 3 am, he saw all this. He released the security guard. After that, both of them went to the priest’s house near the temple and gave information. The priest approached the temple committee. The temple committee immediately informed the Mapusa police. According to the Devasthan, there was approximately Rs 12 lakh in the fund boxes. After getting information about this incident, the Mapusa police arrived at the scene and have speeded up the investigation by conducting Panchnama.
