Many such advertisements are also being seen on websites like @amazon ! Society has to be cautious of them. @ShriRamTeerth has not authorised anyone to do these things. Don't fall into anyone's trap. These websites should also remove such false advertisements immediately, otherwise, we will be forced to take legal action," his post stated on X.
