A delegation of the Jain Samaj Tuesday met Gurgaon Commissioner of Police Navdeep Singh Virk and demanded the early recovery of idols and other precious items stolen from a Jain temple complex here Dec 30.

A total of 46 idols and other valuables were stolen from the Sidhant Tirth Kshetra in Sikhorpur village near the Delhi-Jaipur national highway, 13 km from Gurgaon city.

The wall of the Kshetra was broken by unidentified men who fled with the idols, including a silver idol of Adinath Bhagwan, and another of Parasnath Bhagwan along with gold and silver valuables and cash.

The delegation said the investigation by officials of the Kherki Daula police station, where the complaint was lodged, was not satisfactory.

Virk assured all possible help for recovery of the stolen items.
