This is the story of a thief who donated part of money received from theft to a temple.

Rajesh Nandalal Kurmi(originally from Rajsamand, Rajasthan) was working in Online marketing company in Surat. One day in the course of his work, he encashed Rs 20 lakh from bank account of his boss by stealing boss’s check book and committing forgery.

As Rajesh found missing, and incident came to light, on complaint of Sudarshan Sharma, Director of the company where Rajesh was working, Pandesara police started investigation and finally nabbed Rajesh from Rajasthan.

However, out of Rs. 20 lakh – which was the total amount stolen – the police could capture only Rs. 18 lakh from Rajesh.

When questioned, Rajesh revealed that he had donated Rs. 2 lakh to Sanvaria Sheth mandir, 15 kms from Chittodgadh.

It is expected now that Pandesara Police will be able to recover Rs. 2 lakh on 24th from trustees of Sanvaria Sheth mandir.
