State Police Chief (SPC) Ravada Chandrasekhar on Saturday said the investigation being carried out by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) into the Sabarimala gold loss case is in its final stage and is progressing in a proper manner.
The probe is conducted under the supervision of the High Court, which is closely monitoring the investigation, the SPC told reporters here.
“The SIT is doing a good job. They are investigating [the case] well. The High Court is conducting its proper supervision,” he said.
The SIT is almost coming to the end of their investigation, Mr. Chandrasekhar added.
The Sabarimala gold loss cases pertain to the alleged misappropriation of gold from the Dwarapalaka (guardian deity) idols and the Sreekovil (sanctum sanctorum) door frames at the Ayyappa temple following the replating of the claddings on the artefacts.
