Sabarimala Gold Case: Former TDB President Detained

P.S. Prasanth, the former president of the Travancore Devaswom Board, was taken into custody in connection with the Sabarimala gold theft case.

The case involves the alleged misappropriation of gold from temple artefacts.

Prasanth claims that the case is politically motivated and that his board acted with honesty and transparency.

He insists that there was no financial loss to the temple and that the restored sculptures weighed more and contained more gold.

Investigators, however, allege procedural lapses and are examining evidence to determine if there was any financial loss or misappropriation.

The controversy began during Prasanth's tenure when concerns were raised over the restoration of the temple's Dwarapalaka sculptures.

The case has led to several arrests and is being closely monitored by the Kerala High Court.
