Nashik: Ahilyanagar cyber police on Sunday registered an FIR against owners of five websites for allegedly cheating Shri Shaneshwar Devasthan in Ahilyanagar's Shanishingnapur. The websites collected money from pilgrims for darshan, performing various pujas and rituals without giving any of the proceeds to the temple trust. The complaint was registered by police with cyber police station. The police have sought details about those who own the five websites. A complaint was registered after chief minister Devendra Fadnavis ordered action on the complaint of cheating by Shiv Sena MLA from Nevasa, Vitthal Langhe.

We are sure that large number of people will come to know about the issue and register a complaint," said inspector Moreshwar Pendam. Another senior official said, "The people who own these five websites have been seeking money from pilgrims for VIP darshan, rituals like puja, abhishek etc at the temple. All these activities are managed by the trust for which it charges some money as decided by the trustees, but the operators of the websites have not given any proceeds to the trust." According to Langhe, "The websites had collected Rs 1,800 from each pilgrim for performing the puja. Just imagine the money these websites earned illegally from the business. My demand is action against them."
