Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 THE HINDU Online edition of India's National Newspaper Tuesday, November 13, 2001 Idol recovered By Prafulla Das BHUBANESWAR, NOV. 12. The idol of Lord Madan Mohan, which was stolen from the 12th century Lord Jagannath temple in Puri early on Sunday, was recovered from a well inside the Nilachal Upaban, a garden adjacent to the main temple complex, this morning. Police, however, have not been able to trace the other stolen idol of Lord Amabasya Narayan. The idol of Lord Madan Mohan was traced around 9-30 a.m. when a fireman, Mr. Dharanidhar Baral, entered the well and searched for it. When the water was pumped out, the police recovered the idol and a crowbar, which was apparently used by the culprits to break open the lock of the small temple to take away the idols.
