Mysuru:  A robber has attempted to enter the Maruthi Temple in T.K. Layout on Thursday night and steal from the place.

The CCTV camera has captured the footage of a masked man trying to break open the grill gate with an iron rod. The footage has also captured a car coming around 2.15 am and slowing down near the temple. Seeing the car approaching, the masked man escaped from the place.
