Badrinath Temple Faces Theft Allegations; BKTC Launches Probe

Allegations of stolen donations and offerings have surfaced at the Badrinath temple, prompting the Badri Kedar Temple Committee (BKTC) to initiate a formal investigation. A social organisation has claimed that a BKTC employee is involved in the alleged theft and has called for a review of CCTV footage from the premises. The BKTC chairman acknowledged the matter while clarifying the accused employee's role, but assured that strict action would follow if irregularities are confirmed. A dedicated probe panel is being formed to examine available evidence and record statements. Legal action is expected if wrongdoing is established through the inquiry.
