BREAKING: ₹15 Lakh Money Trail Emerges in Ayodhya Temple Probe as Police Unearth Fresh Financial Links

The investigation into the alleged misappropriation of offerings at the Ayodhya Ram Temple has uncovered a significant financial trail, with investigators examining transactions exceeding ₹15 lakh allegedly linked to prime accused Avinash Shukla. According to information emerging from the probe, police have identified multiple bank transfers and cash payments made to different individuals, prompting investigators to expand the financial scrutiny surrounding the case. Officials are also verifying claims that Shukla allegedly handed nearly ₹2 lakh in cash and an expensive mobile phone to a female acquaintance, with investigators now examining the source of those funds and the nature of the transactions. Another key development involves statements reportedly made by Shukla’s brother, who is said to have noticed him carrying large amounts of cash after work on multiple occasions and questioned him about its origin. Investigators are verifying these claims as part of the ongoing inquiry. Meanwhile, the Ayodhya Police have begun questioning five other accused inside jail after obtaining court approval, aiming to cross-check earlier statements and establish whether the financial transactions were connected to a broader network. Officials are expected to compare individual testimonies before conducting joint questioning if inconsistencies emerge. The latest developments have shifted the investigation toward tracing the movement of money, identifying beneficiaries, and determining whether additional individuals played a role in the alleged diversion of temple offerings. Authorities maintain that every financial transaction is being verified through documentary evidence, digital records, and witness statements before drawing conclusions. The probe remains active, with investigators indicating that further revelations could emerge as the financial investigation progresses.
