Mangaldai March 29: An incident of burglary in the historic Hanuman mandir at Kharupetia town of Darrang district has been reported on Monday night.
The miscreants stormed into the main temple by breaking several locks and allegedly looted four idols and other valuable objects worth several lakhs of rupees. The burglars also looted cash by breaking the donation box.
A section of local people has raised fingers at the senior officers of Kharupetia police for their lack of prompt response in sharp contrast to the recent concept of the state government to upgrade Assam Police as "smart police ".
