According to Deepa, her husband Mahant Monu Sharma is the Mahant of the temple. They live on the temple premises. Whatever offerings come to the temple, it is spent on medicines and studies for the poor and hapless people. Along with this, marriages of poor girls are being performed. The accused parties were unhappy with this. Hence, policemen used to come to the temple every day demanding Rs 2 lakhs and threatening to kill them if they did not pay.
According to Deepa, on July 6, 2022, there was a marriage of a poor girl in the temple. During this time, three people came to the temple and had a fight. Deepa alleged that all three are henchmen of the MLA. "That's why instead of taking action against them, the police filed a false case against us and sent us to jail. On June 3, the Chief Judicial Magistrate stated in his order that the police station concerned is ordered to make sure to file a case against the accused in the case as per the rules.
