Ayodhya Authorities Target Lavkush Mishra Property Amid Temple Fraud Case

The Ayodhya Development Authority (ADA) issued a formal notice to the property, which is registered under the name of Mishra’s wife, Supriya Mishra. Officials have set a July 15 deadline for the submission of approved building plans, warning that failure to produce the documentation will result in the immediate closure of the premises. This administrative action runs parallel to the criminal proceedings against Mishra, who is currently being held in judicial custody alongside seven other suspects.

The Supreme Court is now weighing the necessity of an independent probe into the wider allegations of donation misappropriation. As the judicial process unfolds, the scrutiny of Mishra’s personal assets highlights the tightening grip of authorities on those accused of exploiting the high-profile temple construction for personal gain.
