Anukalp Mishra, a relative of temple trust member Anil Mishra who was present in the counting room, was found with approximately ₹16,82,040 in cash including 2,853 notes of ₹500.

“मंदिर ट्रस्ट के सदस्य अनिल मिश्रा का रिश्तेदार अनुकल्प मिश्रा ₹16,82,000 ₹40 कैश। ₹2,853 नोट 500 के।”

Rationale

Central assertion supported: ₹16.82 lakh matches the stated ₹16,82,040 and Anukalp was in the counting operation linked to Anil Mishra. The 2,853-notes-of-₹500 breakdown is a plausible subset not contradicted by any source.
