Court Greenlights Polygraph Test in Sabarimala Gold Investigation
A significant development has emerged in the Sabarimala gold heist case, with a court officially approving the use of a polygraph test on staff members of the Padmanabhaswamy temple. The decision marks a pivotal step in the probe into the mysterious disappearance of gold from the temple's vaults.
The Missing Gold Bars
The incident came to light back in May, when several gold bars, which had been allocated for gold plating work at the temple's sanctum sanctorum, were discovered missing from the strong room. The gold was intended for sacred renovation purposes, making its disappearance a matter of grave concern for both the temple authorities and devotees.
Legal Proceedings and Investigation
The investigation, which has been ongoing for months, led authorities to seek permission for a lie detector test on the temple staff to uncover the truth. The Kerala court has now granted this approval, a move that underscores the complexity of the case and the determination to find the culprits. This legal step is expected to provide new leads and help investigators piece together the events that led to the heist.
The case continues to unfold as authorities work to recover the stolen gold and ensure the security of the temple's invaluable assets.
