Ayodhya Ram Mandir probe: SIT names 70 suspects, 8 arrested
Eight lower-ranking officials have been arrested after a major investigation revealed donations at Ayodhya's Ram Mandir were being misused.
The SIT report, released June 26, flagged about 70 suspects and showed serious problems with cash handling and embezzlement over the last two years.
CCTV footage helped confirm what was going on.
Nripendra Mishra and Champat Rai unpunished
While arrests have happened, big names from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Trust, like Nripendra Mishra and Champat Rai, haven't faced real consequences.
They've mostly stayed quiet or brushed off the issue, even though rules set in 2024 and 2025 were ignored.
Meanwhile, opposition parties are pushing for a Supreme Court-monitored probe, saying recent actions aren't enough.
Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister says no one guilty will be spared, but many are still waiting for answers from those at the top.
