BREAKING: Ram Mandir donation and land deal probe widens; FIR move, SIT expands six accused case row

Reports from Ayodhya suggest that the investigation into alleged irregularities linked to Ram Mandir donation management has widened after a SIT submitted its preliminary findings and triggered discussions on possible legal action against six individuals. According to circulating inputs, authorities are also examining the proposal to appoint a retired officer as chief executive of the temple trust to strengthen administrative oversight. The development has intensified political debate as different parties raise questions over transparency and accountability in the handling of donations and land transactions. Leaders of the Sanjay Singh and the Aam Aadmi Party have submitted documents and raised allegations regarding irregularities in land purchases allegedly made by the trust since 2021. The matter reportedly includes scrutiny of multiple property deals, including cases where significant price differences between initial purchase and later transactions are being examined by investigators. Officials associated with the probe are expected to review land records, payment details, and revenue documents as part of a broader inquiry. Meanwhile, the Ram Mandir Trust has not issued detailed public comments on the latest allegations, while political reactions continue to shape the narrative around the investigation. The SIT is expected to expand its review beyond donation-related concerns to include land acquisition processes and valuation methods used in recent years. Observers say the case has become politically sensitive, with competing claims and counterclaims emerging from different sides. Authorities maintain that the investigation is ongoing and that no conclusions have been reached at this stage, with further action dependent on verification of evidence and completion of procedural review. Further updates are expected as investigators proceed with evidence verification and legal assessment in coming days and official statements may follow soon
