Old video footage showing alleged theft of donation money at Gujarat’s Ambaji temple has surfaced, prompting police action and changes to the temple’s donation-counting procedures. According to reports, the incident involves cash being removed while donation counting is underway. The footage shows a temple worker, described by one outlet as an outsourced employee, allegedly taking a bundle of cash from the donation counting area.
Following the emergence of the video, police arrest three temple employees in connection with the alleged theft. The accounts mention that the purported amount involved is about Rs 1 lakh, taken from the temple’s donation counting room during the counting process.
In parallel, the temple begins an overhaul of how donations are counted, responding to the concerns raised by the footage. While the outlets focus on different aspects—one emphasizing police arrests and the other highlighting procedural changes—the reports broadly align that the video leads to an investigation and adjustments to improve security during donation counting.
