SIT Report on Ram Temple Donation Theft
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) in India has finished their report about some people stealing money donated to the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
They found that the temple didn't follow the right rules and hired people who weren't qualified to handle the donations.
The team suggests that the temple should use better cameras, hire professional staff, and make sure everyone is supervised properly.
Eight people were arrested for the theft, but the report says the problem was mostly with the lower-level staff.
The temple is only two years old, so it's still learning how to manage things better, unlike older temples that have more experience.
SIT report highlights administrative and supervisory lapses in Ram temple donation management.
Unqualified personnel were hired, and standard operating procedures were not followed.
Eight accused were arrested and are currently in judicial custody.
SIT recommends strengthened CCTV surveillance, professional staff, and accountability measures.
The investigation also identified systemic shortcomings in the temple's donation management system.
