Supreme Court Reviews Ram Temple Donation Theft Probe, Orders SIT Reconstitution
The Uttar Pradesh government's Special Investigation Team (SIT) has submitted a sealed status report to the Supreme Court regarding alleged donation theft at Ayodhya's Ram Temple. Eight arrests have been made, and investigations continue to trace the money trail. The Supreme Court cautioned against politicising the matter, emphasizing a fair, impartial probe and suggested reconstituting the SIT under a senior IPS officer. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has resumed donation counting with enhanced security and oversight. The court will review the report and hear the case again on July 27.
