Eight people have been arrested in Ayodhya in connection with alleged fraud in the management of donations to the Ram Janmabhoomi temple trust.
A Special Investigation Team found evidence of financial irregularities in the trust’s handling of donations. The development led to the resignation of two senior trust officials, Champat Rai and Anil Mishra.
The temple trust oversees the construction and administration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, which has drawn large volumes of public contributions. Allegations of mismanagement of such funds have prompted close scrutiny.
The arrests and resignations mark a significant turn in the matter, with the investigation expected to determine the extent of the irregularities and the responsibility of those involved.
