Kamareddy SP N. Swetha, the processional deities had been kept inside the temple along with the main idols for years. The temple was very small and ancient and only the locals knew about it. The incident came to light when a devotee had found the doors of the sanctum sanctorum broken and the idols missing. The devotee had reported the matter to the priest, who had alerted the police. According to the locals the idols belong to the Kakatiya era. However, the exact age of the idols is yet to be ascertained scientifically according to the SP N. Swetha. She told the accused left the silver jewellery, with which the idols were adorned, in the temple and fled with the processional deities. The accused were handed over to the Kamareddy town police for further investigation.]]>
