Indian HC airs concern over theft of crown gifted by Modi

The Indian High Commission (HC) in Dhaka has voiced serious concern over the theft of a crown gifted by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the Jeshoreshwari Kali Temple in Satkhira, reports UNB.

The high commission urged the Bangladesh government to conduct a thorough investigation, recover the stolen crown, and bring those responsible to justice.

"We have seen reports of the theft of the crown gifted by PM Modi to the Jeshoreshwari Kali Temple (Satkhira) in 2021 during his visit to Bangladesh," said the High Commission in a formal message.

The crown, which adorned the deity at the historic Jeshoreshwari Temple in Satkhira's Shyamnagar, was reported stolen around 2:30 pm on Thursday.
