SIT Files Chargesheet Naming Eight Accused in Ram Temple Donation Theft Case
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) filed a nearly 74,000-page chargesheet in the alleged Ram Temple donation theft case in Ayodhya, naming eight accused involved in removing cash during the counting process. CCTV footage reportedly shows 105 instances of unauthorized cash removal. Former Trust officials Champat Rai and Anil Mishra, who resigned amid scrutiny, are listed as prosecution witnesses, not accused. The chargesheet has sparked political debate over the exclusion of senior officials and the roles of bank staff, with investigations ongoing.
