Kerala SIT launches probe into Chennai firm over Sabarimala temple gold theft
The Daily Guardian
|October 14, 2025
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) from Kerala arrived in Chennai on Monday to intensify its probe into alleged irregularities in the gold-plating restoration of the Dwarapalaka (guardian deity) idols at the Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple, focusing on Chennai-based firm Smart Creations.
According to sources, the SIT team from Kerala questioned the company's CEO, Pangej Bandari, at the firm's head office in Ambattur in connection with the missing gold reportedly linked to the temple's restoration work.
Bandari and other key officials of the firm were queried on the reported shortfall of approximately 4.54 kg of gold linked to the 2019 electroplating work on the idols' copper coverings, sources said
The missing gold has sparked a political row in Kerala, where the BJP is accusing the state government of corruption.
