Unidentified thieves decamped with two donation boxes kept in the sanctum sanctorum of Bhairavnath temple in Pune's Shikrapur on Saturday. On Sunday morning, the temple trust president found the donation boxes missing after the temple was reopened for worship.

According to a report in Hindustan Times, trust president Kantaram Gilbile (50), in the FIR, stated that he had opened the temple lock on Sunday to perform prayers when he found it broken. He asserted that he had properly locked the temple door on Saturday before leaving the premises.
