Activist seeks further investigation in Ram Temple embezzlement case
A former IPS officer and social activist wrote to the UP DGP, claiming that while the scope of the investigation continued to expand, the number of persons facing criminal charges ultimately remained limited to eight
Former IPS officer and social activist Amitabh Thakur has called for a further investigation into the Ram Mandir donation case, expressing concerns over the limited number of persons facing criminal charges despite an expanded scope of investigation. In a letter to the UP Director General of Police, Thakur highlighted that the initial SIT had identified 70 incidents and serious supervisory lapses, while the subsequent SIT investigation found 105 incidents of unauthorized removal or concealment of cash and instances of assistance by other persons during the counting process.
Despite examining CCTV footage, witness statements, banking and financial records, and forensic audit material, the final chargesheet has been filed against only eight persons. Thakur demands a further investigation under Section 193(9) of the BNSS, questioning whether the responsibilities of persons and institutional/supervisory levels identified during earlier stages of the investigation were adequately examined.
