Kaushambi Man steals Shivling from temple after his wish for marriage not fulfilled

A 27-year-old man decamped with a Shivling from the Bhairo Baba temple in Uttar Pradesh’s Kaushambhi district, after his wish to get married was not fulfilled.

 

The absence of the Shivling was discovered when devotees visited the temple at Kumhiyawaha Bazaar, under the jurisdiction of the Maheva Ghat police station and alerted the temple authorities and police, while village head Om Prakash filed an FIR.

 

Police finally made a breakthrough and picked one Chhotu from Kumhiyawaha on Sunday.

 

The stolen Shivling was found “hidden under a pile of leaves and bamboo in a field”, according to Maheva Ghat police station officer Rajnikant.
