He stole RS 1.5 crore and then donated God; Everything about Bengalurus bizarre theft

While thefts are a common event all over India, only a few capture the public's imagination – but a recent case in Bengaluru did just that, thanks to its unusual turn with religion. In a strange mix of crime and conscience, a man who was accused of stolen a large amount of money gave part of it in a temple, possibly as an act of repentance. The most curious part? This donation, which corresponds to almost 1 pound of Lakh, cannot be legally reclaimed – even though it was made with stolen funds.

The case began on May 5, when an auditor from Kodandaramapura, Bengaluru, handed over a bag of 1.51 billion GBP to his long -time driver Rajesh BN. The plan was simple: Rajesh should put the money in the car for bank deposits. But when the accountant got down, both his vehicle and the driver had disappeared.

When he suspected that something was wrong, he hurried to his office, where he found the car parked – but Rajesh was nowhere in sight. When contacting the driver, the driver claimed to buy medication and would return shortly. He never did it.

The police started an investigation after the accountant had submitted a complaint. Rajesh reappeared on May 9, admitted the theft and was taken into custody.

Further inquiries showed that Rajesh had spent around £ 1 for his family's needs and kept considerably followed by a temple donation box. According to the traditions of the South Indian temple, the offers placed in the Hundi – a sealed box used for religious donations – applies to the deity and are not subject to reimbursement. The funds usually go towards the temple and non -profit works and cannot be called up after the deposit.

In a bizarre turn of events, part of the stolen money now lies with the divine – even for the police.
