A criminal case was filed against Pramod Nautiyal, a Personal Assistant, for allegedly diverting temple offerings. He was suspended by the Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee after preliminary findings substantiated the allegations. An inquiry committee found prima facie evidence of serious irregularities in his official duties. The Uttarakhand Government has also formed a high-level committee to investigate donation irregularities. Authorities are working to secure the integrity of the temple's donation process.
