Temple Probe: SIT Expands Ram Mandir Donation Case as New Evidence and Hiring Questions Surface

The investigation into the alleged Ram Mandir donation embezzlement case has entered a new phase as fresh claims and additional evidence emerge during the ongoing Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe. According to sources, investigators are examining multiple aspects of the case, including recruitment procedures, financial transactions, recovered cash, and the responsibilities of key officials connected with temple administration. A new development involves the reported recovery of cash from a storage box at a yoga centre where one of the accused allegedly stayed. Investigators are also examining a donation collection box carrying a “Ram Rajya Kosh” QR code to determine whether it has any connection to the alleged diversion of funds. Authorities have not yet confirmed any conclusions regarding the recovered items, and forensic as well as documentary verification is continuing. Sources further indicate that the SIT has prepared a detailed report expected to be submitted to the state government soon. The report is anticipated to examine recruitment practices, financial oversight, internal accountability, and the roles of officials linked to the temple trust. Questions have also been raised about recommendations made during employee appointments, while investigators continue to verify whether established procedures were followed. Meanwhile, Champat Rai is reportedly expected to present his response publicly after the SIT submits its final findings. Public representatives have emphasized that the investigation should establish the facts through evidence rather than speculation. As the inquiry progresses, officials maintain that all allegations remain under investigation, and no final determination regarding criminal liability has been announced. The forthcoming SIT report is expected to provide greater clarity on the allegations and recommend any further legal or administrative action, if warranted.
