VACCINATION NEEDS POPULAR SUPPORT

A group of devotees who gathered for morning prayers at the dargah of Hazrat Saman Dewan in Nagaur were in for a shock when they saw a pile of crumpled notes strewn on the floor.

As the management of the dargah was informed, they sat down to count the money and it amounted to Rs93,514.

The dargah management members then made a startling claim that the money was the same that was stolen one month back by thieves. Sharafat Ali, who reached the dargah in the morning was the first to see the pile of notes. He told the caretakers at the dargah and the police was informed which arrived on the spot and took the money in their possession.

Sohanlal Firdoda assistant sub-inspector at the Badi Khatu police station said one month back some unidentified persons had stolen Rs 2 lakh from the donation box kept in the dargah situated in Badi Khatu village of Nagaur district.

The dargah management had filed an FIR but police was unable to trace those who committed the theft.

The identity of the thief could not be ascertained as the cameras installed at the dargah were not working on the night of December 17 when the theft took place.
