  "account": "Retired Air Marshal Jeetendra Mishra has been appointed as the first CEO of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, India. Mishra, who previously headed the Indian Air Force's Western Air Command during Operation Sindoor, was selected from over 5,585 applicants after a rigorous selection process. As CEO, Mishra will oversee the temple's administration, financial accountability, and regulatory compliance, with a focus on strengthening the trust's systems and ensuring compliance with statutory requirements. The appointment comes amid a controversy over the alleged embezzlement of donations, which led to eight arrests and the resignation of the general secretary. Mishra, a former fighter pilot with over 38 years of service in the Indian Air Force, will take charge at a crucial time for the temple's management.",
