He wrote: Please avoid spreading any kind of rumor regarding the new note. From the denial given by Raghun Murthy and his friend, it is completely clear that the news about the notes with the photo of Ram Mandir is spreading wrongly among the people. Apart from this, anyone looking at these notes for the first time can guess that they are fake. Looking at it, it becomes clear that this photo has been prepared by making many changes in the original Rs 500 note. Let us tell you that even on the official website of RBI, no information related to the viral claim has been given.
