Ram temple donation row: Gym sealed after owners arrest over objectionable Facebook post

In a decisive move, authorities in Ballia have shut down the gym run by Irshad Ali, who was recently detained over a controversial Facebook post regarding alleged misappropriation of donations for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The gym was operating unlawfully from a basement lacking crucial fire safety protocols. This closure follows Ali's arrest on Sunday, prompted by accusations that his post intended to incite communal tensions and foster animosity.
