The SIT is investigating two cases related to the loss of gold from the Dwarapalaka (guardian deity) idols and the doorframes of the Sreekovil (sanctum sanctorum) of the temple. They were granted statutory bail as the SIT has not filed its chargsheet within the stipulated 90 days period after the arrest of the accused. Sreekumar has not been arrayed as an accused in the second case involving the loss of gold from the doorframes of Sreekovil. Potty has got statutory bail in one of the cases and is therefore, still in jail. The SIT has arrested 12 people, including two TDB presidents, in connection with the cases.
