Miscreants made an abortive bid to break open a donation box inside a Gurudwara in central Kashmir's Budgam district, police said today.

"On the intervening night of March 24 and 25, an attempt was made to break open the donation box of a Gurudwara at Khampora Sarai in Chadoora area of Budgam," a police spokesman said.

"For a speedy probe and to nab the culprits, a special investigation team under the supervision of ASP Budgam has been constituted," the spokesman said.

The security at the Gurudwara had been strengthened.
