Ram Mandir Donation Case: Police Examining Old Ledgers, Over 100 People Under Investigation

The investigation into the Ram Mandir donation case in Ayodhya has gathered momentum, with police and the Special Investigation Team (SIT) conducting a detailed examination of old ledger books maintained for temple donations. Officials are reviewing every page of the financial records to determine whether there were any discrepancies or manipulation in the accounting of donation funds.

According to officials, over 100 people are now under the scanner as part of the ongoing investigation. These include current and former temple staff, individuals involved in counting donations, maintaining financial records, and others associated with the handling of temple funds. Investigators are cross-checking statements with documentary evidence to establish the sequence of financial transactions and identify any irregularities.

The probe follows earlier developments in which several suspects were arrested and cash, valuables, and other materials were recovered during searches. Authorities are also trying to determine how long the alleged irregularities may have continued and whether multiple individuals were involved in the operation.

Officials have stated that every financial document, ledger entry, and witness statement will be carefully verified before any conclusions are reached. If evidence establishes the involvement of any individual, legal action will be taken in accordance with the law.

Meanwhile, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has reportedly strengthened security and transparency measures related to donation collection and counting. These include enhanced monitoring, additional CCTV surveillance, and improved documentation procedures to help prevent similar incidents in the future.

The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have emphasized that no final conclusions will be drawn until all evidence has been thoroughly examined.
