Kundapur, Jun 17: The vigilant actions of the CCTV team at the Kamalashile temple prevented an attempted theft of cows from the temple’s Goshala late on Saturday night.

At around 2:46 a.m. on Sunday, two thieves entered the goshala of the Kamalashile temple, cut the ropes securing three cows, and attempted to load them into a vehicle. The temple has an agreement with ‘Sign in Securities’ for live CCTV monitoring. The personnel monitoring the CCTV at their center in Ankadakatte, Kundapur, immediately alerted the beat police, the sub-inspector (SI), and the temple's security guards.

As the security guards rushed to the goshala, the thieves fled. Apart from one cow that initially went missing, the others were found safe. The missing cow was later found just outside the gate.
