Sudarsan Pattnaik demands CBI probe into Ratna Bhandar key issue 

The Srimandir Ratna Bhandar key issue on Monday got a fresh turn with Srimandir Management Committee member and eminent sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik demanding a CBI probe.

As per reports, the Srimandir Management Committee convened a meeting today. After the meeting, Pattnaik alleged that only one lock of the inner treasury (Bhitara Ratna Bhandar) had the lac seal on it while the two others didn’t have any seal. This has led to doubts among common people.

“Of the three locks, one had lac seal and the same was not found on the other two. We have also heard so many things from the media about what was the condition of the inner treasury. People have started asking so many questions regarding this. So it should be investigated by the CBI. Then only, everything about the Ratna Bhandar will come to the fore,” Pattnaik said. 

No reactions were received from the temple administration.
