Key Accused Arrested in Sabarimala Gold Misappropriation Case
In a major development in the Sabarimala gold misappropriation case, Unnikrishnan Potty, a key accused, has been arrested from his residence in Thiruvananthapuram. Potty allegedly sponsored the gold plating of sacred items at the Sabarimala temple in 2019, which later became the subject of a high-profile investigation after discrepancies were found in the quantity of gold used.
The arrest follows a detailed probe into the alleged misappropriation of temple assets, raising serious concerns over the handling and supervision of temple donations and renovation works. Authorities believe Potty played a central role in the financial irregularities that led to the disappearance or misuse of gold meant for religious purposes.
The Travancore Devaswom Board, which oversees the temple’s administration, has welcomed the arrest and called for a thorough investigation to ensure accountability and restore public trust in the temple’s management. Further inquiries are ongoing.
