"The thieves probably did not want to commit the crime with the god watching them and turned the statue around," he said.?

They used the same precautions with the CCTV cameras and stole the video footage's hard drive.

According to Suchita Singh, the circle officer for the Brahmpuri area, police teams are now analyzing footage from CCTV cameras that have been put in place.

" The tunnel must have been dug for many days, and we are trying to identify the burglars by tracking the movement of people in the area seen in CCTV footage," she added.?
