Ayodhya Ram Temple Prasad Scam Worth Crores Busted
The New Indian Express Jeypore
|June 06, 2025
A shocking case of manipulating faith for fraud came to light after Ayodhya Police busted one of the biggest cyber scams in the history of the temple town, with around ₹3.85 crore allegedly siphoned from unsuspecting devotees in the name of distributing the 'prasad' of Ram Lalla.
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.
