Police have intensified their investigation into the alleged donation fraud linked to Ayodhya by conducting raids at the residences of eight arrested individuals across multiple locations.
According to officials, the accused are suspected of running a network that fraudulently collected donations by misleading people in the name of religious and charitable causes associated with Ayodhya. Investigators believe the group used fake identities, forged documents, and digital payment channels to solicit money from unsuspecting donors.
During the raids, police searched the homes of the arrested suspects and seized several items, including mobile phones, laptops, financial records, bank documents, and other electronic devices. The seized material is expected to help investigators trace money trails and identify additional individuals involved in the alleged racket.
Authorities are examining whether the accused were part of a larger organised network operating across different States. Officials said further arrests are possible as the investigation progresses.
Police have appealed to the public to verify the authenticity of donation campaigns before making financial contributions, especially those claiming links to religious institutions or charitable organisations.
The investigation remains ongoing, with law enforcement agencies analysing digital evidence and financial transactions to uncover the full extent of the alleged fraud.
