Nitin Gadkari denies allegations regarding ethanol production, stating his minimal stake

Significant discoveries were made in the case of alleged theft of offerings in Ayodhya during the interrogation of suspect Avinash Shukla under police custody. According to police sources, after Avinash Shukla was shown surveillance footage from the last 45 days, he broke down and admitted to the continuous theft of offerings.

Investigation into the Network and Amount of Theft

The police are currently investigating the entire network, as well as determining the amount of stolen funds and the role of other involved individuals. During interrogations within the custody, the police consistently questioned Avinash Shukla, showing him video recordings from the temple premises spanning 45 days. The police claim that after seeing himself taking money from the offerings, Avinash allegedly admitted to committing this crime for a long time.

Revelation of How Stolen Money Was Used

Another major fact was revealed during the interrogation concerning the use of the stolen money. According to police information, Avinash stated that the stolen funds were used to purchase a Brezza car. However, to avoid suspicion, the car was purchased not in his name, but in the name of his brother Abhishek. The police note that Avinash claimed his brother is a government teacher, so purchasing the vehicle in his name would not raise any questions.

Following a confrontation with the block head in Jalaun, IAS Rinku Singh Rahi was transferred. Although administrative reshuffles in the district are common, this incident caused widespread resonance in the political and administrative circles of the entire region.

Reasons for Transfer and New Post

The District Magistrate and Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Rinku Singh Rahi was immediately transferred by order of the District Magistrate Rajesh Kumar Pandey, which was issued on Tuesday. He is known for his strict working style and frequently attracted attention across the province. He has now been assigned the post of SDM (Legal) in Urai, which is considered less influential, while a new SDM, Rakesh Kumar Soni, has been appointed to his former position in Jalaun.

Relocation to New Post

Upon receiving the order to move from Jalaun, SDM Rinku Singh did not delay and immediately handed over his responsibilities to Rakesh Kumar Soni. He declined the official vehicle and traveled to Urai by private bus, then took an e-rickshaw to reach Kalkrat and assume the duties of SDM (Legal).

Details of the Incident

The conflict began on June 23 when SDM Rinku Singh Rahi visited the 'Betwa Aisind Cold Storage' facility for inspection. The block head Ramraj Niranjan was present at the same time. A dispute arose between them, which quickly escalated into a serious quarrel. The block head claims that the SDM attempted to hit him, but the blow landed on his arm, not his cheek. This scene was captured by nearby CCTV cameras.

Reaction of Parties and Investigation

Block head Ramraj Niranjan filed an official written complaint with the Jalaun District Magistrate Rajesh Kumar Pandey, providing video recordings as evidence. Given the seriousness of the situation, the District Magistrate immediately formed a special five-member investigation committee. Although officials consider this administrative transfer standard procedure, the public perceives it differently.

Block Head's Demands

The block head expressed gratitude to the District Magistrate of Jalaun and the administration for the transfer, but emphasized that it did not resolve the issue. He insists that a First Information Report (FIR) should be registered against the SDM after the investigation is complete to prevent any respected citizen from being humiliated in the future. Rinku Singh himself claims that this step is an attempt to influence the course of the investigation.

Previous Activities

It is worth noting that Rinku Singh Rahi had previously drawn public attention due to his provocative and strict working style. Before this, while serving as SDM in Shahjahanpur, he became the subject of discussion regarding the 'squatting' (utk-baithak) case.
