Repeated thefts, CCTV clips, and family ties: Inside Ram Temple donation ’embezzlement’ probe

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into alleged theft from Ayodhya’s Ram Janmabhoomi temple donation boxes has led to eight arrests and the recovery of over ₹79 lakh. CCTV footage reportedly shows an accused repeatedly stealing cash, with allegations of a cover-up involving a relative of a co-accused. Trust leadership has resigned, and Chief Minister Adityanath vows no one will be spared in the ongoing investigation.
