HR&CE Minister PK Shekhar Babu clarified that whatever is offered in the Hundi, whether it is offered voluntarily or by mistake, goes to God’s account. He further said that as per the prevailing temple tradition and rules, any item put in the Hundi cannot be returned. Because it becomes the property of the deity. However, he also said that the matter will be discussed with the department officials, and the possibility of giving compensation to the devotee will be looked into if the need is felt.
