Ram Temple Theft: Accused Gifted ₹2 Lakh, Phone to Woman Friend
Potential abuse of power and suppression of justice are suggested.
Police have uncovered new evidence in the theft of donations from the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, linking one accused, Avinash Shukla, to transactions exceeding Rs 15 lakh. Shukla gifted cash and a mobile phone to a woman friend, which is under investigation. His brother, Abhishek, was seen frequently carrying cash to a yoga center after his shift, prompting him to question the source of funds. The police are verifying these claims, while the Special Investigation Team (SIT) continues its probe into the alleged embezzlement. The state government granted an extension for the investigation, allowing it to expand its scope and conduct a comprehensive inquiry.
