Police found a two-foot metal idol of lord Perumal stuffed in a gunny bag inside a stockroom of Mannargudi town police station. As there was no mention of it in the records at the station, they handed over the idol to revenue officials for further investigation.

According to police, the idol was found wrapped in a plastic sheet in a bag when a few police personnel were cleaning the stockroom on Saturday night. Police reported this to inspector Rajendran who rushed to the station and inspected the stone idol which seemed to be that of lord Perumal.

As they were clueless on how the idol landed up there, they checked all the station records. However, they found nothing that could relate to the idol or any cases thereof.

After informing Mannargudi deputy superintendent of police Karthik, inspector Rajendran handed over the idol to Mannargudi tahsildar Karthi at his office on Sunday. The revenue officials are trying to determine whether the idol was made of panchaloha or some other metal and how old it is.
