An ISKCON temple employee tasked with collecting money donated by devotees has fled with lakhs of rupees along with a receipt book, officials said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
“An FIR was filed by the temple’s Chief Finance Officer Vishwa Nam Das late on Friday night,” Superintendent of Police (City) Arvind Kumar said.<\/p>\n
He said Das had given an application to SSP Shailesh Kumar Pandey on December 27, informing about the alleged theft. A primary investigation was conducted after which the FIR was lodged.<\/p>\n
Temple PRO Ravi Lochan Das said Murlidhar Das’ job was to collect the donated money and deposit it with the temple authorities from time to time.<\/p>\n
“After scrutiny, it will be known exactly how much money he has deposited in the temple,” he said.<\/p>\n
According to the FIR, Murlidhar Das, son of Nimai Chand Yadav, is a resident of Sriram Colony, Rauganj Vasa in MP’s Indore.<\/p>\n
Police said that along with the money, he also fled with a receipt book containing 32 sheets.<\/p>\n
The PRO said earlier too a person named Saurav had fled with donation money as well as a receipt book. He died before they could be recovered.<\/p>\n
