Virat Kohli has rejected claims that Rs 5 crore was paid to bring him to spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj’s ashram in Vrindavan. Kohli’s spokesperson called the allegation “completely false, baseless and factually incorrect”. The claim was made by Falahari Maharaj, also known as Dinesh Sharma, amid controversy surrounding the death of a disciple at the ashram. Kohli and his wife, Anushka Sharma, have been regular visitors to the Radha Keli Kunj Ashram since 2023. Kohli’s team said his visits were driven by “deep faith and reverence” and urged media organisations to verify such claims before reporting or amplifying them. (PC: NDTV)
