Supreme Court Closes Monitoring of Ayodhya Ram Temple Donation Embezzlement Case
The Supreme Court has closed its monitoring of the alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ayodhya Ram Temple after the Uttar Pradesh government informed it that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) filed a chargesheet against eight accused. The court allowed petitioners to assist the local trial court but expressed no opinion on the case's merits. The SIT found that donations were misappropriated during counting, with some funds invested in properties or deposited in banks. The court declined a CBI probe and directed the trial to proceed under local jurisdiction.
