Seven in custody for stealing SIM cards, cables from BSNL's Sabarimala office

Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala Police have taken seven people into custody for breaking into the BSNL office at the famed Sabarimala temple premises.

Later it was found out that SIM cards and cables were stolen from the office.

Incidentally, this BSNL office functions only when the temple located at a hillock opens for its monthly 'pujas', when pilgrims arrive.

The loss of properties was reported by the BSNL officials and the police quickly acted . Seven people have been taken into custody and the questioning was on.
