SIT intensifies probe into Ram Mandir donation theft as internal scrutiny highlights suspicious roles among 100 employees. Reports indicate the employees were appointed on recommendations and maintained close ties with temple trust members. Therefore, investigators are considering immediate suspension to secure accountability and transparency.
Questionable Appointments Under Review
The employees included security, cleaning, and volunteer assistance staff placed via multiple agencies. Allegations suggest that some appointments occurred due to trustee influence, which may have compromised oversight. Consequently, new trust officials are reviewing all appointments for compliance and integrity, while SIT interrogates each employee to determine their involvement.
Enhanced Temple Security and Donation Counting
Following the incident, Ram Mandir implemented stricter monitoring. Officials introduced a two-level security system for donation counting. Moreover, police and private security agencies now jointly oversee funds, ensuring accurate verification. Employees entering the counting room undergo thorough checks, and 23 staff members receive special duty assignments to prevent previous lapses. Additionally, each staffer must present official identification before handling donations.
Vigilance Beyond Counting Room
Authorities maintain high alert even after donation verification. Guards recheck donors exiting the counting room, ensuring no irregularities occur. These reforms aim to restore public trust and prevent internal misconduct, demonstrating the temple management’s commitment to transparency, efficiency, and accountability for both devotees and stakeholders.
