Shockingly, the Swindon Hindu temple was raided for the fifth time since May. The main altar of the temple, where the deities are placed, was vandalized, the doors were damaged and collection boxes with money were stolen in the break-in on Darby, Saturday morning.

Wiltshire Police are appealing for information from citizens related to the break-in. A forensic team has also gathered evidence from the site.

Hindus are very upset at ransacking and robbery at this only Hindu temple in the area, the county and much beyond. People are now sleeping overnight at the temple to safeguard the deities themselves, according to temple chairman Pradip Bhardwaj.
