Around 200 tolas of gold ornaments and Tk 4.5 lakh in cash were stolen from Dhakeshwari Mandir in the city on Saturday night.
Worshiping in the temple remained stopped since yesterday morning in protest of the theft. Police detained four persons including the security guards and cleaners.
Nirmal Chatterjee, joint secretary of Mahanagar Sarbojaneen Puja Committee, said two sebayets (people that conduct pujas) left locked all the locks of the main temple on Saturday night and found all the locks missing on return yesterday morning.
“All the ornaments were worn on the bodies of three goddesses as devotees presented those. The money was kept in the boxes in front of the goddesses.”
“We suspect an organised gang is involved in the burglary,” Nirmal said.
Nirmal alleged that they had informed the government authorities several times of the insecurity of Dhakeshwari temple, but in vain.
A protest meeting was held in front of the temple yesterday morning when the temple committee announced another protest rally today.
The puja committee President Biresh Chandra Saha filed a general diary (GD) with Chawkbazar Police Station.
