Ram Mandir donation case: Tinnu Yadav, Manish Yadav sent to 39-hour police remand
Ram Shankar Yadav alias Tinnu Yadav and Manish Yadav were granted 39 hours of police remand by a court on July 17, 2026, for alleged embezzlement of Ayodhya Ram temple donations.
Ayodhya Police argued custodial interrogation is essential to uncover the conspiracy and trace the money trail.
Earlier, two other accused—Subhash Chandra Srivastava and Ramashankar Mishra—were taken for a 14-hour remand.
Four other accused—Avinash Shukla, Anukalp Mishra, Lavkush Mishra, and Karunesh Pandey—have already been interrogated during police custody.
The alleged donation scam has triggered widespread political backlash against the ruling BJP.
