The Uttar Pradesh Police have filed a case against a journalist and two others for allegedly falsely accusing the secretary of the Ram Temple Trust of grabbing land in Bijnor district, NDTV reported on Sunday.
Journalist Vineet Narain had put up a Facebook post three days ago, accusing the secretary, Champat Rai, of helping his brothers grab land in their hometown in Bijnor. He claimed that the land belonged to a woman named Alka Lahoti, a non-resident Indian.
Champat Rai, who is a leader of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, is also facing questions about the alleged corruption in land deals for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
Rai’s brother Sanjay Bansal filed a complaint against Narain, Lahoti and another person named Rajneesh, accusing them of tarnishing the reputation of his family and hurting the religious sentiments of Hindus, according to The Times of India.
Bansal said in his complaint that he called Narain to clarify the facts in the case but Rajneesh picked up the phone and threatened to kill him.
Bijnor Police chief Dharm Vir Singh claimed that prima facie, the accusations against Rai and his relatives seemed “baseless”. He added that the police have ordered an inquiry.
