ED uncovers major gold theft from Sabarimala temple in multi-state raids

New Delhi, Jan 21 (UNI) The Enforcement Directorate (ED), Kochi Zonal Office, stated on Wednesday that it conducted search operations at 21 premises across Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka in the misappropriation of gold and other assets belonging to the Sabarimala temple.
The ED initiated its investigation based on two FIRs registered by the Kerala Police Crime Branch. These revealed a well-planned criminal conspiracy involving senior officials of the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB), former temple administrators, private sponsors, and jewellers.
Preliminary investigation indicates that sacred gold-clad artefacts of the temple, including components of the Dwarapalaka idol, peedams (pedestals), and sanctum sanctorum door frame panels, were deliberately misrepresented in official records as mere "copper plates" and unauthorisedly removed from the temple premises between 2019 and 2025.
