A big theft scandal has rocked Ayodhya's Ram Temple, with a Special Investigation Team report revealing that temple staff worked together to steal huge amounts from donation boxes.
They tampered with CCTV cameras during cash counting, letting accomplices sneak money out by hiding it in clothes and stashing it in temple bathrooms before smuggling it away.
