Tirukkovilur: In Titrukkovilur, in the same night at the same place the offering of devotees money in Hundi was faithfully looted.
Erattai Vinayakar Koil is situated on the banks of a lake in Tirukkovilur of Vizhuppuram District, where construction work is going on in building of Rajagopuram (the Main Entrance). Here, the Hundi was broken and money looted. Besides, the following temples have also been looted:
- Gengai Amman Koil, Vadakku Vidhi (North Street), Santhappettai.
- Mariamman Koil, Therkku Vidhi (South Street).
- Vinayakar Koil
- Ayyanar Appan Koil opposite to Tirukkovilur Arts and ScienceCollege.
The significant looting has been that of the Erattai Vinayakar Koil is situated on the banks of a lake, as it is the repeat of the last month! This clearly proves that there has been considerable Hundi-collection in this temple and the looters are well aware of the position. Thus, the looting five temples at the same place has created a panic there.
The Police does not take any action even if the Temple authorities give complaint. Moreover, the temple authorities also do not come forward to complaint, as this creates unwanted complications.
This has indirectly helped and encouraged the temple money looters. The devotees express their feelings that this attitude lead to the systematic looting
