Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) flagged fraudulent activities targeting the Ram Temple fund collection. Cybercriminals circulated fake social media pages and QR codes, seeking donations in the name of the temple trust. VHP warned against falling prey to these scams, urging action from authorities.
In
an alarming revelation, Vishwa
Hindu Parishad (VHP) has brought to light fraudulent practices surrounding
the fund collection for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. As the consecration ceremony
approaches, VHP identified deceitful attempts by individuals misusing the name
of the Ram Janmabhoomi Trust.
Cybercriminals
are leveraging social media platforms, enticing unsuspecting individuals to
contribute to the temple fund through circulated messages and counterfeit QR
codes. They have fabricated a false social media page impersonating 'Shri Ram
Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh,' featuring a spurious QR
code to lure donations.
VHP's national spokesperson, Vinod Bansal, issued a stern warning via a post on X, cautioning the public against falling prey to these fraudulent schemes. Bansal highlighted the gravity of the situation, alerting people to impostors posing as representatives of Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra. He urged immediate action from Home Minister Amit Shah, Delhi Police, Uttar Pradesh DGP, and UP Police to combat these fraudulent activities.

committee to collect funds separately for the impending consecration ceremony
on January 22. Milind Parande, VHP's general secretary, reiterated this,
stressing the need for vigilance within society against such fraudulent
practices.
The
VHP's explicit statements serve as a cautionary alert to the public, urging
them to remain vigilant and avoid falling victim to these deceitful schemes
aimed at exploiting the sanctity of the Ram Temple fund collection. Authorities
are called upon to take swift action against these fraudulent individuals
circulating fake solicitations in the name of the temple trust.
