Why a 2012 Devaswom order matters in Sabarimala gold theft case

A 2012 Travancore Devaswom Board order has become a key piece of evidence in Sabarimala gold theft probe. The order clearly says 'Vajivahanam' is public property and cannot be given to anyone, directly challenging 2017 decision to hand it to Tantri. As SIT investigates alleged misuse of 4.54 kg of temple gold, several former board members have already been arrested.
