Ayodhya Ram Temple donation theft SIT flags 105 instances

A CCTV clip shows 105 moments where temple cash went missing at Ayodhya, and the SIT says eight temple workers are under investigation^12,21. The UP government told the Supreme Court the probe is largely complete and a chargesheet will be filed by September 25, the end of the 90-day window from the first arrest^12,30.

The SIT work, led by UP IGP Kiran S, relies on CCTV footage, bank records and audits to map who was involved, and the court has kept the Sessions Court in Ayodhya as the place to file the chargesheet^13,32. The significance is that a failure to file by September 25 could trigger default bail for the accused, and political voices have pressed for transparency and accountability while the court oversees the process^30,33.

The case has become a test of how fast the judiciary can supervise financial irregularities around a sacred site, with multiple media reports noting 70 then 105 incidents and political calls for a forensic audit and strict action against those responsible^11,17.

By the date the court hears the matter, the SIT is expected to present the chargesheet and the exact roles of the accused will be laid out in court documents, potentially shaping accountability for donations handling in Ayodhya^25,39.
