Cashing in on the spiritual fervour among devotees, especially after the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla in sanctum sanctorum in January 2024, the accused, who posed as a professor at Northeastern University in Seattle, lured lakhs of devotees through a fake website promising divine offerings from the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya to be delivered at their doorsteps.
