Palash Muchhal visits temples amid cheating allegations
7 May
Summary
- Palash Muchhal visited temples in Rajasthan after facing legal charges.
- A social worker alleged Muchhal of cheating and caste abuse.
- Muchhal's lawyer dismissed the allegations as a publicity stunt.

Composer Palash Muchhal recently shared images from a spiritual visit to temples in Rajasthan, including Khatu Shyam, Salasar Balaji, and Jeevan Mata ji. This visit follows a cheating and caste abuse case filed against him by Vignyan Mane, a social worker and friend of cricketer Smriti Mandhana. Mane alleges that Muchhal lured him into investing Rs 25 lakh in a film project that never yielded returns and also made casteist remarks.
Muchhal's legal counsel has strongly refuted these accusations. His lawyer, Shreyansh Mithare, described the complaint as a 'pressure tactic' and a 'publicity stunt,' further questioning why no complaint was filed for six months if the allegations were valid. The timing of the complaint has been specifically challenged, particularly in light of previous discussions limited to alleged financial disputes.
Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana had previously announced their wedding for November 23, 2025, but later called it off on December 7, 2025. The current legal situation adds another layer of complexity to Muchhal's public life.
