Lucknow: The head of a temple located adjacent to the Ram Mandir complex in Ayodhya on Thursday levelled serious allegations against Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust general secretary Champat Rai, claiming that "he and his gang" illegally grabbed control of the shrine through forged documents and that his complaints had been ignored by the authorities.
The allegations were made by Hari Shankar Safariwala, who identified himself as the panch pramukh of the centuries-old Ram Niwas temple in Ramkot, during a press conference addressed by Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow.
