Ayodhya Ram Mandir Fraud: Tinnu And Team Used Fake Receipts To Buy Land And Cars

A significant breakthrough has been achieved in the investigation of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir donation theft case, revealing a sophisticated web of deceit. The local police have successfully recovered fake donation receipt books from the accused, which were being used to defraud unsuspecting devotees. This revelation comes as part of an ongoing probe into the misappropriation of offerings intended for the temple. According to the latest reports, the individuals involved in this scam utilized the embezzled funds to acquire significant assets, including real estate and luxury vehicles. The law enforcement agencies are now conducting a thorough investigation into the properties and bank accounts of the suspects to trace the full extent of the financial irregularities.

The Modus Operandi of the Fraud

The investigation has brought to light the deceptive tactics employed by the gang. Police sources indicate that based on the information provided by the accused during interrogation, old and forged donation receipt books created in the name of the Ram Mandir were recovered. The suspects have reportedly confessed to their crimes, admitting that they weren't only stealing from the temple's offerings but were also actively soliciting money from donors by issuing these fraudulent receipts. By providing what appeared to be official documentation, they ensured that the donors remained unsuspecting while the money was diverted directly into the pockets of the criminals.

Recovery of Fake Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Receipts

The police have seized old fake receipt books of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra from the possession of the accused. It has been revealed that in the initial stages, when any devotee expressed a desire to donate to the temple, the accused individuals—identified as Tinnu Yadav, Lavkush, Karunesh, Anukalp, and others—would issue these recovered fake receipts as proof of donation. This was a calculated move to prevent any suspicion from arising, ensuring that the donated funds went straight to the accused instead of the temple trust. The recovery of these books serves as crucial evidence in the ongoing criminal proceedings.

Distribution of Loot at 14 Kosi Parikrama Marg

The Ayodhya police are currently interrogating Anukalp, Lavkush, and Karunesh to uncover more details about the operation, while ramashankar Yadav, also known as Tinnu Yadav, and Avinash Shukla are considered the primary masterminds behind this theft racket. A vehicle has already been recovered from Avinash Shukla, while during the investigation, it was discovered that the distribution of the stolen money took place at the 14 Kosi Parikrama Marg. This location served as the meeting point where the gang members would divide the proceeds of their fraudulent activities.

Assets and Properties Acquired Through Theft

The scale of the embezzlement is reflected in the assets acquired by the accused. It has been reported that Anukalp purchased a Desire car using the stolen money and had also booked a Scorpio. Another accused, Lavkush, purchased land in the name of his wife, Supriya Mishra. On this land, he was in the process of constructing a 3 story building. The police are questioning all the accused regarding their properties, assets, and bank accounts. Following the interrogation, the police may take the suspects to their various locations and properties for further verification and evidence collection as the investigation continues to expand.
