SIT report on Ram Temple donation theft handed to Trust
Someone reported that money and valuable things were missing from a big and very important temple in Ayodhya, India.
The state government wanted to find out what happened, so it created a special team of investigators.
This team is called the Special Investigation Team, or SIT.
The team studied the case and wrote a big report about what they found.
On Monday, the government gave this final report to the trust that takes care of the temple.
The report says that more police officers should be posted near the temple to keep an eye on what happens in the inner part of the temple grounds.
Earlier, eight people were arrested because of what the team found at first.
The team is led by a senior government official named Vijay Vishwas Pant.
The report does not name two former temple trust officials, Champat Rai and Anil Mishra, as accused.
Now the temple trust has the report and can decide what to do next.
The Uttar Pradesh Home Department handed the SIT's final report on the alleged theft of cash and valuables at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya to the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust on Monday.
The report recommends enhancing police deployment to monitor activities in the inner circle of the temple premises.
Eight accused were arrested earlier based on the preliminary findings of the three-member SIT.
