Viral photo of accused Avinash Shukla’s brother holding cash adds a new angle as investigators examine financial links.
July 2, 2026: A Special Investigation Team (SIT) is expected to visit Ayodhya as part of the ongoing investigation involving accused Avinash Shukla. The probe has gathered momentum after a photograph purportedly showing his brother, Amit Shukla, holding bundles of cash went viral on social media, adding a fresh dimension to the case.
According to reports, both Avinash and Amit Shukla had been staying at a local yoga centre, where authorities earlier recovered a large amount of cash along with a QR-code-linked donation box. The yoga centre is known to be attended by several women for yoga training, making the revelations all the more surprising for local residents.
People associated with the centre described Avinash Shukla as a quiet, disciplined and reserved individual who rarely interacted with others. They claimed he maintained a low profile and never exhibited any behaviour that would have suggested involvement in illegal activities.
