Video of iPhone falls into temple hundi in Tamil Nadu, authorities refuse to return

In a bizarre incident at a temple in Tamil Nadu, the authorities refused to return an iPhone to a devotee after it fell into the donation hundi.

The incident occurred at the Arulmigu Kandaswamy temple, Thiruporur near Chennai. As the devotee explained that he dropped the iPhone inadvertently, the temple authorities claimed that the phone was the “property of the deity”.

Dinesh, a devotee from Vinayagapuram, had to return home empty-handed on Friday, as the temple authorities said anything dropped into the hundi belongs to the deity. However, the temple offered to give him the SIM card and



to let him download data from the phone.
