SIT to File Chargesheet on Ram Temple Donation Theft After Identifying 105 Incidents
The Supreme Court-monitored Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ayodhya Ram Temple has identified 105 instances of unauthorized cash removal, up from 70 earlier reported. The SIT has arrested eight accused and examined CCTV footage, witness statements, and financial records. The investigation is nearing completion, with a chargesheet expected by September 25, the 90-day statutory deadline. The court noted no discrepancies in valuable donations like silver bricks. Opposition Congress has criticized delays and demanded a forensic audit, while the government maintains transparency in the probe.
