Kurukshetra Temple Theft: Thieves Steal Silver Sheet from Shivling at Shukra Tirth temple in Pehowa, Incident Caught on CCTV (Watch Video)

A video of a theft involving the stealing of a silver sheet from a Shivling has gone viral on social media. The incident took place in Haryana’s Kurukshetra district at the Shukra Tirth temple in Pehowa. The footage shows two thieves entering the temple and attempting to steal the silver sheet covering the Shivling.

In the viral video, one of the thieves is seen removing the silver nag (snake) ornament from the idol before trying to detach the sheet. Unable to remove it with his bare hands, the second thief hands him a screwdriver, which he then uses to successfully remove the sheet. Surprisingly, after taking the sheet, the thief places the nag back on the Shivling, possibly to avoid immediate suspicion.
