Is it Demonetisation impact..?
Why this rush for Gold..?
It is reported that the I.T Department has served a notice to authorities of Kerala's famous Chottanikkara Bhagavathy temple near here, seeking details of gold stock kept in the shrine
Gold rush at Kochi’s Chottanikkara temple raises suspicion, I-T Dept issues notice
On November 9 and 10, just after the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes was announced, the temple sold 90 gold lockets at Rs 30,000 each
It was raining gold at the Chottanikkara Bhagavathy temple just a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 were to be demonetized.
On November 9 and 10, 90 gold lockets were sold at Rs 30,000 per locket at the temple, Mathrubhumi reported.
On November 11, the temple officials had deposited the proceeds of the sale into a public sector bank. They were also directed by the bank officials to not accept old currency notes, the report said.
The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) initiated a preliminary probe into the incident and primarily listed persons associated with the Kochi Devaswom Board as their suspects, a report by The New Indian Express said.
“Such brisk sale is very unusual in such a short period of time. We are trying to identify the persons who bought the lockets, mostly using the cancelled currency notes. We are yet to register a case, as the preliminary inquiry is yet to be completed,” the Express report had quoted VACB officials.
