Ayodhya Police Deepen Probe into Ram Temple Donation Theft and Asset Trail
Ayodhya police are intensifying their investigation into the alleged theft of cash donations from the Ram temple's strong room. Authorities have sought seven days' custody remand of two key accused, Ram Shankar Yadav and his nephew, to confront them with evidence including statements, financial records, and documents. The probe has expanded to Basti district, where investigators are examining disproportionate asset acquisitions linked to a temple honorarium worker and his family. Police also reconstructed the 14-hour cash counting process to identify procedural vulnerabilities and trace the diversion of funds.
