A chargesheet filed by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) details alleged theft of donations during the cash-counting process at Ayodhya's Ram Janmabhoomi temple. CCTV footage reportedly shows over 100 instances of cash removal involving eight accused, who are in judicial custody.

Police recovered nearly Rs 80 lakh connected to the case, with Anukalp Mishra identified as the main conspirator. No evidence was found of theft during bank transfers.
