SIT estimates 6-8L siphoned daily at Ram Janmabhoomi Trust
A major donation scam is under investigation at the Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, with the SIT estimating ₹6 to 8 lakh was siphoned off every day.
The case kicked off after officials noticed irregularities in how donations were handled, leading to eight arrests, including a retired banker who managed cash.
SBI staff and trust officials probed
Before the scam surfaced, daily donations averaged ₹16 to 18 lakh, but after things came to light, contributions shot up to ₹24 to 26 lakh per day.
State Bank of India (SBI) staff and trust officials are now under scrutiny for possible lapses and unexplained asset growth, especially former trust officials Champat Rai, Anil Mishra, and Gopal Rao.
The SIT is digging into their property records and financials to see if everything adds up.
