Faizabad Bar Association Demands FIR Over Ram Mandir Donation Irregularities

Analysed 22 Aug 2026·2 sources analysed·Ayodhya, India·Politics
Faizabad Bar Association Demands FIR Over Ram Mandir Donation IrregularitiesPreviousNext

The Faizabad Bar Association has demanded an FIR against former Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust officials Champat Rai, Anil Mishra, and Gopal Rao over alleged donation irregularities at the Ram Mandir. Lawyers claim government protection is preventing action against the accused and have warned of continued agitation if no FIR is filed. The association also resolved not to represent eight arrested individuals in the embezzlement case and urged the accused officials to leave Ayodhya, threatening stronger measures if they do not comply.
