The villagers said this
At the same time, the villagers believe that years ago a Dalit man named Jeth Ram was accused of killing an animal, for the atonement of which he paid the entire expense to the village Pandit Shambhunath Tiwari. Pandit ji got the construction work of the temple done and he himself continued worshiping in the temple for a long time. Pandit Shambhunath died a few days later.
After the death of Pandit ji, his sons took over the power. But later his four sons also left the village. He sold his house to Azam and Mohammad of the same village for about three lakh rupees. After his departure, the temple gradually fell into disrepair and worship also stopped.
Meanwhile, village head representative Alam said that no one has captured the temple. The temple is lying as it is. Nobody comes here. The environment of the area is good.
In this entire matter, SDM Preeti Tiwari said that the investigation of the matter has been handed over to the Tehsildar. Further action will be taken after the investigation report. At present peace is maintained.
