Ram temple 'fund theft': Accused Avinash Shukla spent Rs 19 lakh on friends, family
A key accused in the alleged Ram Temple donation fund misappropriation case is facing fresh scrutiny after investigators claimed that around ₹19 lakh was spent on family members, friends, and personal expenses.

Authorities are examining financial records, bank transactions, and digital evidence to determine how the funds were transferred and utilized. Officials believe the accused distributed portions of the money to close associates while also spending it on personal needs. The case has drawn public attention because it involves donations made by devotees for the construction and development of the Ram Temple. Investigators have indicated that additional financial links are being verified, and further legal action may follow if more evidence is uncovered. The inquiry remains active as authorities continue tracing the complete flow of the allegedly misused funds.
