The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the donation theft at the Ayodhya Ram Temple is broadening its inquiry beyond the initial suspect, examining the CCTV system, pass issuance, and the role of technical staff. This comes amid significant security expenditure.
An ongoing investigation into a donation theft at the Ayodhya Ram Temple has deepened, with the Special Investigation Team (SIT) expanding its scope. The probe is no longer solely focused on the accused, Tinnu Yadav, but is now scrutinizing the temple's CCTV system, the process for issuing passes, and the overall security arrangements.
The SIT is also examining the roles of technical staff involved in the temple's operations. This expanded inquiry comes as questions arise regarding the effectiveness of security measures, especially considering that approximately 10 crore rupees were reportedly spent on security over an 11-month period. The alleged theft has prompted a thorough review of security protocols and personnel.
As part of the investigation, authorities have already questioned over 125 individuals. The SIT aims to uncover the full details of the incident and ensure accountability within the temple's security and administrative framework.
