Former TDB President Arrested in Sabarimala Gold Loss Case

Former TDB president P S Prasanth and board member A Ajikumar were arrested by the SIT in connection with the Sabarimala gold loss case.

The case involves the alleged loss of gold from Dwarapalaka idols and Sreekovil doorframes during electroplating in 2025.

Prasanth, who headed the board from 2023 to 2025, alleges the arrest is politically motivated.

The SIT has arrested 16 people so far in this case, all of whom were later released on bail.

Prasanth is the third former TDB president to be arrested in these gold loss cases.

The investigation is ongoing, with scientific findings providing new insights into the alleged modus operandi.
