Claim
₹14,25,000 of stolen offerings was recovered from accused Lavkush Mishra and ₹7,32,170 from accused Ramashankar Mishra.
“गिरफ्तार लवकुश मिश्रा के पास से भी चढ़ावा चोरी के 14 लाख ₹25,000 बरामद किए गए। आरोपी रमाशंकर मिश्रा के पास से ₹732170 बरामद हुए।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Multiple Indian news outlets covering the Ayodhya Ram Mandir donation (chadhava) theft case (FIR registered 26 June 2026) corroborate both figures: ₹14,25,000 cash recovered from accused Lavkush Mishra of Thakuran Faigoli, Rudauli, and ₹7,32,170 tied to accused Ramashankar Mishra (recovered on his disclosure/pointing-out). Both amounts match the claim precisely; the only minor nuance is that the Ramashankar sum is described as recovered 'on his disclosure' rather than physically off his person, but this does not change the factual accuracy of the amounts and attributions.
