MP Thief Stole From The Temple, Returned Everything With An Apology 'After Suffering A Lot'

There are no rules when it comes to crimes. Criminals don't see the time and place when they commit a crime. A temple is a place where one might think people will feel connected to god at. And probably not commit a crime.

Alas, that isn't the case. A man stole valuable items from a temple in Madhya Pradesh. But there is a twist in the story. In an unlikely turn of events, the thief returned everything to the temple with an apology letter that reportedly stated he suffered a lot.
