Days after Ayodhya row, theft of donations and offerings alleged at Badrinath temple

Allegations of stolen donations at Badrinath temple have prompted an investigation by the Badri Kedar Temple Committee (BKTC). A social organisation claims a BKTC employee is involved, urging a review of CCTV footage. While the BKTC chairman clarified the employee's role, he assured strict action if irregularities are confirmed. The committee is forming a probe panel to examine evidence and statements, with legal action planned if wrongdoing is found.
