Dhaka/IBNS: A Goddess Kali crown, which was gifted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2021, has been stolen from the Jeshoreshwari Temple in Satkhira's Shyamnagar, media reports said.


The police are probing into the incident, which occurred at around 2 pm on Thursday.

As per reports, temple priest Dilip Mukherjee had left the premises after concluding worship for the day.

As caught in the CCTV footage, a man was seen entering into the temple, allegedly stealing the crown and leaving.

The silver and gold-plated crown was placed on the head of the deity by Modi in 2021 when he visited the temple in March 2021.

The Kali temple, which was built in the 12th century, is located in Iswanipur village.

Reacting to the news, Indian High Commission in Bangladesh posted on X, "We have seen reports of theft of the crown gifted by PM Modi to Jeshoreshwari Kali Temple (Satkhira) in 2021 during his visit to Bangladesh.

"We express deep concern & urge Govt of Bangladesh to investigate theft, recover the crown & take action against the perpetrators."
