A viral claim alleging that Virat Kohli was paid Rs 5 crore to visit Premanand Maharaj's Vrindavan ashram has triggered a social media controversy. Now, the cricketer's team has responded to the allegation, calling it 'completely false.'

Sharma, president of the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Sangharsh Nyas, had alleged that Rs 5 crore was facilitated to bring Kohli to Premanand Maharaj's ashram. The allegation has not been verified. No public record of payment, contract or other details has been found to prove that Kohli was paid Rs 5 crore for visiting the ashram.
