"We have found the Hundi at 2 km distance from the Ganapavaram village. The hundi is in broken condition. The police have called the clues team. Once the clues team arrives and completes its work, the police will proceed with the investigation. The case is not yet filed," Mylavaram Police Station ASI Prem Kumar told .
"Hundi might be stolen at last midnight. In general, temple trustees open the Hundi and count the donations after Sri Rama Navami festival every year, but this year the Hundi is not opened due to the coronavirus pandemic. There might be approximately Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000," he added.
