Court Grants One-Day Police Custody of Three Accused in Ram Temple Donation CasePreviousNext

A special anti-corruption court in Faizabad granted the Uttar Pradesh Police one-day custody of three accused—Anukalp Mishra, Lavkush Mishra, and Karunesh Pandey—in the Ram temple donation fraud case. The police will interrogate them regarding the alleged embezzlement and diversion of donations, aiming to verify evidence and reconstruct events. This follows recent police custody of another accused, Avinash Shukla, as investigations continue into the misappropriation of funds offered by devotees.
