MNS chief Raj Thackeray alleges that around ₹18 crore is “stolen” every year from donations collected at Mumbai’s Siddhivinayak Temple. Thackeray says the pattern becomes noticeable when comparing donation collections before and after the alleged theft is detected. He claims that weekly earnings from donations were below ₹50 lakh before the issue was caught, and that collections then rose to about ₹1.5 crore. The Hindu reports Thackeray’s figure as roughly 10% of the temple’s reported FY2026 revenue. The two reports present Thackeray’s claims and the related figures but do not include corroborating findings from investigators or the temple administration within the provided excerpts. Overall, the available information focuses on the allegation’s scale and the claimed change in donation collection levels, with the ₹18 crore annual amount being presented as Thackeray’s estimate.
