13th-century Ganapeshwaralayam desecrated as greed digs sacred soil. Telangana protected monument plundered for hidden riches.
Miscreants illegally excavated the historic Kotagullu Ganapeshwaralayam Temple in Ghanpur, Jayashankar Bhupalpally district. Viral videos expose men and women digging within protected premises, reportedly fleeing with stolen valuables from the Kakatiya-era shrine.
Telangana Archaeology AD D Bujji filed a police complaint after site inspection confirmed desecration. Ghanpur police registered a case; an investigation probes a treasure-hunting gang. No significant conservation despite the 1960 State Archaeological Act protection.
