SIT to Submit Final Report on Ayodhya Ram Temple Donation Theft Probe SoonPreviousNext

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged embezzlement of donations at Ayodhya's Ram Temple is expected to submit its final report to the Uttar Pradesh government within 24 to 48 hours. The report is anticipated to identify individuals responsible for the theft and administrative negligence, including oversight lapses by former trust officials. It highlights procedural failures and possible suppression of information to protect the trust's reputation. The findings may lead to significant reforms in the temple's donation management and administration, with the trust scheduled to discuss recommendations soon.
