Ranchi: An extraordinary theft incident has emerged from a village in Jharkhand's capital, Ranchi. A thief broke into a Kali temple, but instead of escaping with stolen goods, he unexpectedly fell asleep while gathering items. Local residents are attributing this bizarre occurrence to the divine intervention of Goddess Kali. Let's delve into the details of this unusual thief.


The incident took place at the Kali and Sheetala temple located in Tankisai Barajamada, Ranchi. The thief, under the influence of substances, managed to break the temple's lock, stealing money from the donation box and gold and silver ornaments from the idol of Goddess Sheetala. However, as he attempted to exit with the stolen items, the effects of intoxication and a sedative took over, causing him to doze off right there.

During the search, police recovered the stolen money from the donation box, the gold and silver jewelry, and the sedative T-10. The thief's intention was to steal the silver ornaments and the money in the donation box, but he ultimately failed to execute his plan.
