Sabarimala Gold Theft Case: Tantri Granted Bail Amid Political Dispute and Ongoing Investigation

The Sabarimala gold theft case involves allegations of misappropriation of temple gold, with Tantri Kandararu Rajeevaru arrested but later granted bail due to lack of evidence, as noted by the Kollam Vigilance Court. Congress leaders allege political interference by the Chief Minister's Office to shield certain officials, while CPI(M) denies these claims, asserting the investigation is ongoing and impartial. The Special Investigation Team plans to challenge the bail order, and the issue has sparked political protests and debates in the Kerala Assembly ahead of elections.
