SIT Flags Lapses In Ram Mandir Donations Handling, Trust Under Scanner

The alleged Ram Mandir donation scam has intensified scrutiny of the temple trust after an SIT probe reportedly identified multiple lapses in the handling and security of donation cash. The investigation points to irregularities in staffing, security checks, cash counting procedures, and transportation of donation boxes. The report also raises concerns over the hiring process and alleged negligence in monitoring employees handling temple donations. The controversy has sparked criticism from members of the Nirmohi Akhara, who have questioned the trust's functioning and oversight mechanisms. Meanwhile, the Allahabad High Court has declined an urgent hearing on petitions related to the case, stating that the SIT probe should be completed first.
