According to @hemendra_tri, when a few reserved GVs were unable to secure a spot as priests at the Ram temple in Ayodhya, then, Mohit Pandey and the entire #सनातन from Ghaziabad were chosen as priests by going viral with this fake photo.
#Alert: अयोध्या के राम मंदिर में कुछ आरक्षण जीवी फ्री में पुजारी के रूप में जगह नहीं बना पाए तो ये फेक फोटो वायरल कर पुजारी के रूप में चयनित हुए गाजियाबाद के एक #ब्राह्मण भाई #मोहित_पांडे और पूरे #सनातन को बदनाम करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। 😡
