Police Interrogate Tinnu and Manish Yadav in Ram Temple Donation Theft CasePreviousNext

Ayodhya Police conducted a 39-hour custodial interrogation of Ram Shankar Yadav (Tinnu) and his nephew Manish Yadav regarding the alleged theft of donations from the Ram temple. Investigators allege Tinnu supervised donation handling and facilitated the theft by recommending Manish for a counting job. Manish reportedly concealed stolen cash in a bathroom on Tinnu's instructions. Police recovered cash from both accused and are probing the conspiracy, including other involved individuals and methods to evade detection.
