Hyderabad, Feb 3 : Hyderabad Police have booked a couple involved in theft of idols from temples to perform special puja to have children.
While the man has been arrested for theft at two temples in the city, the police are on the lookout for his wife.
Santapuram Siddesh and S. Sujatha allegedly committed thefts at two temples under Langer House and Kulsumpura police station limits after a tantrik suggested they perform a special puja. Someone suggested to them that if performing puja of Lords Naga Devatha, Katta Maisamma and Narasimha Swamy by keeping their idols in home, they can be blessed with children. As such they hatched a plan to commit theft of the Narasimha Swamy idol or idol plate as well as Lord Naga Devatha idol with Katta Maisamma idol or idol plate, said Kulsumpura inspector P. Shankar.
