After Ayodhya, Badrinath, donation row at Madhya Pradesh's Baglamukhi Temple 

An alleged embezzlement of donations at Madhya Pradesh's Maa Baglamukhi Temple has come to light amid ongoing investigations over similar allegations at Ayodhya's Ram Temple and Uttarakhand's Badrinath Temple.

A three-member inquiry committee will probe the matter.

In the Ayodhya case, eight people have been arrested, while in the Badrinath case, an employee of Shri Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee (BKTC) has been suspended after a four-member team began its investigation into alleged irregularities in the management of donations at Badrinath Dham.

Committee directed to inspect temple premises, examine records

The three-member inquiry committee has been directed to inspect the Baglamukhi Temple premises, examine records, record statements from concerned parties, collect evidence, and submit a report to the District Collector within seven days.

The investigation was ordered after complaints about an unregistered, non-governmental committee allegedly accepting cash and jewelry donations through private bank accounts.

This unauthorized committee reportedly operated alongside a government management committee, which oversees the affairs of the famous temple in Nalkheda town, for years.
