New Delhi [India], June 30 : The investigation into the alleged Ram Temple donation embezzlement case has intensified as the Special Investigation Team (SIT) questioned former Trust general secretary Champat Rai for more than three hours.
According to the media reports, during the questioning, Rai denied any involvement in the alleged irregularities and maintained that he had no role in any misuse of donation funds.
The SIT is examining various aspects of the case, including the collection, management, and alleged misuse of donations linked to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple.
How the Controversy Started
The controversy emerged after allegations were raised regarding the alleged theft and misuse of donations collected in the name of the Ram Temple.
The matter gained attention after claims surfaced that donation-related funds were allegedly misappropriated over a period of time. Investigators began looking into the role of several individuals connected with the temple trust and related activities.
The case created public concern as the donations were made by devotees across the country in support of the temple project.
Investigation Expands
The SIT has been questioning individuals linked to the matter to understand the alleged financial irregularities.
Earlier, some accused persons were reportedly arrested and sent to judicial custody as part of the investigation.
The Ayodhya Bar Association also reacted strongly to the controversy, announcing that lawyers from the association would not represent the accused and demanding a deeper probe, including a CBI investigation.
The association questioned how such alleged irregularities could take place without the knowledge of senior officials and called for accountability.
