April 19, 2014 13:29

CNN-IBN reports: Sri Ananthapadmanabha Swamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram which has gold worth over Rs 1 lakh crore is in the news again.

The Supreme Court appointed Amicus Curie and former Solicitor General of India Gopal Subramanian has made some startling revelations in his report to the Apex court.

According his report, gold plating machines were found inside the temple leading to suspicion that gold at the temple is systematically being stolen by some 'very influential' people.

The report suggests that some people at the highest echelons of the temple administration may have something to do with it.

It also raises serious questions over the manner in which the Travancore royal family is administering the temple.
