The shocked public caught him red-handed and informed the police station. The police arrived there and interrogated Thangapandi. He was already drunk and said, “I asked everyone for money to drink but no one gave me money. That’s why I broke Sammy’s bill.
I had decided to use the money from it to buy alcohol and drink it. “But my faith has been proved false,” he said coolly. The police who arrested him are investigating whether he was involved in any other theft incident like breaking temple money to drink alcohol.
