The Hindu: Subhash Kapoor's criminal trial in India delayed for two more weeks. The defence has filed a petition seeking an official interpreter on the grounds that Kapoor does not follow Tamil.
The trial in the case pertains to theft of 26 idols from two temples in Ariyalur district in Tamil Nadu. The charge against 65-year-old Kapoor is that he had conspired to commit burglary, organised and funded the offence, besides abetting smuggling. He is also alleged to have sold stolen idols to various museums abroad.[...] Although he was alleged to have has been associated with thefts from temples in Suthamalli and Sripuranthan, charges were framed only with respect to the Suthamalli case where 18 idols were stolen. The prosecution has listed over 50 witnesses.
