The treasurer of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, Govind Dev Giri, has appealed to devotees to remain patient and have faith in the ongoing investigation into the alleged theft of Ram Temple donation funds. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) is conducting a thorough probe into the matter.
Investigation Update
Giri, in an exclusive interview, expressed confidence that justice would be served and that no individual would be spared if found guilty. The investigation has so far led to the arrest of eight people, including Champat Rai's driver, Ramashankar Yadav alias Tinnu.
The allegations involve the misappropriation of donations meant for the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Giri stated that he had entrusted the Trust's day-to-day functioning to other trustees during the period in question, as he was based in Pune, and was not aware of any alleged irregularities.
Trust Response
The Trust has taken steps in response to the allegations, including accepting the resignation of its general secretary, Champat Rai, and appointing Bajrang Bagra as his successor. Giri emphasized that every allegation, regardless of the amount involved, must be investigated thoroughly.
As the investigation continues, devotees are being urged to keep faith in the temple and the legal process. The SIT probe is expected to shed more light on the matter, and further developments are awaited.
- 8 people arrested in connection with the alleged theft
- Champat Rai's driver, Ramashankar Yadav alias Tinnu, among those arrested
- No criminal case registered against Champat Rai or Anil Mishra so far
The outcome of the investigation will be crucial in determining the next steps for the Trust and the individuals involved.
