The Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating the Sabarimala gold loss case has arrested former Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) member K P Sankara Das, sources confirmed on Wednesday.

Das was apprehended from a private hospital in connection with two cases pertaining to the disappearance of gold from the temple's Dwarapalaka idols and the Sreekovil door frames.
