Complaint over alleged Vaishno Devi silver irregularities still lacks an FIR after four months

Source: NDTV · 22 Sep 2026, 18:54 UTC

A complaint seeking a police case over alleged adulteration and pilferage of silver offerings at the Vaishno Devi shrine has not resulted in a first information report after four months, according to NDTV. The complaint estimates the offerings involved at about Rs 550 crore and was filed by Advocate Deepak Sharma.

Four months after a complaint was filed over alleged irregularities involving silver offerings at the Vaishno Devi shrine, no first information report has been registered, NDTV reported. The complaint was submitted by Advocate Deepak Sharma. It seeks an FIR into alleged adulteration and pilferage of silver offerings made by devotees at the shrine.

The value of the offerings involved in the complaint is estimated at around Rs 550 crore, according to the report. The supplied material does not state which police authority received the complaint, whether an inquiry has been conducted or why an FIR has not yet been registered. It also does not provide a response from the shrine administration, police or any other authority to the allegations.

The claims described in the complaint therefore remain allegations in the available information.
