CPI(M) accuses Beypore police of removing flex boards on Ayodhya temple theft

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) has accused the local police in Beypore, Kozhikode district, of removing flex boards that highlighted the alleged theft at the Ayodhya Ram temple. T. Radha Gopi, the Feroke area committee secretary of CPI(M), made the allegation in a release on Saturday, August 8, 2026. The boards, bearing a headline accusing those who came to power in the name of Lord Ram of stealing from the Ram temple, were put up by the Samskrithi Temple Coordination Committee, which is aligned with the party in Beypore.

Gopi alleged that the police's removal of the boards demonstrated subservience to the Sangh Parivar under the United Democratic Front government. She claimed that the boards were meant to draw attention to alleged financial irregularities related to the temple and that media reports of the alleged theft were being published "supervised by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh."

Gopi also called for the findings of Central investigative agencies related to the case to be made public and for the police to clarify whether their action was based on directions from higher authorities. No police officers were available for comment.
