Court Extends Judicial Custody of Eight Accused in Ram Temple Donation Case
An Ayodhya court extended the judicial custody of eight accused in the Ram temple donation theft case until August 24. The accused were produced via video conferencing and have been interrogated during separate police remands. Defence counsel Kul Shekhar Singh objected to the legal sections applied, arguing the accused were falsely implicated under incorrect provisions and urged the court to direct police to file charges under appropriate sections. The case has drawn political attention since June.
