Ram Temple Trust Meeting and Ongoing Investigations into Temple Donation TheftsPreviousNext

The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust will meet on July 22 to discuss outcomes from prior meetings and potentially review the Special Investigation Team's (SIT) report on alleged donation misappropriation. Separately, in Uttarakhand, the SIT investigating the Badrinath temple donation theft has arrested two accused, including a retired temple officer and a personal assistant, while seeking donation records from the past three years. The court denied police custody for one accused, and investigations continue to identify further suspects.
