Accepting the argument that the Thantri only has tantric powers, the court said prima facie there is no evidence at this stage to prove that Thantri is directly linked to the Sabarimala gold robbery.
The gold pedestal, which is part of the Dwarapalaka idols that went missing from Sabarimala, has been found from the house of a relative of the sponsor Unnikrishnan Potty, who filed the complaint.
The court has directed that all documents, including the register from the time the shrine, Dwarpalaka sculpture, lintel, arch, etc were gold plated, be seized.
