The Ram Mandir donation theft case in Ayodhya has progressed significantly after police charged eight individuals, citing 105 suspected theft incidents caught on CCTV footage. The Uttar Pradesh government had previously informed the Supreme Court that investigators had examined CCTV footage, witness statements, and financial records to identify suspects.
The chargesheet, filed by the police, references these 105 CCTV incidents and includes testimony from 173 witnesses, with Anukalp Mishra identified as the alleged key conspirator. Notably, senior temple trust officials Champat Rai, Anil Mishra, and Gopal Rao have been designated as government witnesses instead of accused parties.
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust and a concerned bank have reportedly been cleared of wrongdoing due to insufficient evidence. The investigation utilized CCTV recordings along with financial records, witness statements, and recoveries, with the Supreme Court having previously deemed the case substantially complete, with the chargesheet expected to be filed by September 25.
The case has garnered considerable attention as it involves donations made by devotees at the Ram Temple, with the chargesheet expected to form the basis for further proceedings in court.
