20‑Page SIT Report, 10 Big Revelations in Ram Mandir Donation Theft Case

The

Special Investigation Team (SIT), that was constituted by the Uttar Pradesh government on the recommendation of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Trust to probe the alleged theft of the donation funds at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, has submitted a 20-page report in the matter. The probing agency in its report talks about how CCTV footage revealed multiple incidents of funds theft, for how long it was going on, how many people are suspected to be involved, and how these acts were being executed.

• In its 20-page report, the SIT reportedly mentions about 70 theft-related incidents after analyzing the CCTV footage. It mentions that the alleged embezzlement of the donation funds had been going on for 2-3 years.
• The SIT says that they searched and reviewed CCTV footage from April 27, 2026, to June 5, 2026, and found out that around 70 people are suspected to be involved in the case.
• The report confirms donation theft based on the evidence found in the investigation so far. The SIT has found lapses in the processes involved from the counting centers of the donation funds and up to its management.
• The probing agency has charged eight individuals based on electronic evidence, witness interviews, and statements from the accused. It states that the trust had suspected the theft long ago.
• It also mentions that a SOP was established in a meeting between the Trust and the bank in September 2024 and February 2025. Govind Mishra, representing the State Bank, and Anil Mishra, representing the Trust, signed the document. However, the SOP was not subsequently used in the calculation process, and deliberate negligence was committed.
• Based on the findings so far, the role of Champat Rai and Anil Mishra has been questioned.
• Further, during the interrogation, two accused including Tinnu Yadav and Subhash Srivastava, have reportedly made several important revelations related to the entire theft network. The SIT has written in the report that Tinnu had the keys to the bills without permission. According to sources, the names of several bank officials have also emerged during the interrogation as their role is also suspicious in the donation theft case.
• According to sources, action may also likely be taken against several government employees as the SIT has viewed this case as an organised crime.
• In its report, the SIT described Tinnu Yadav and Subhash Srivastava as key players in the conspiracy and its execution.
• The SIT further states in its report that Subhash Srivastava connected others to this network and assumed important responsibilities, such as assigning donation counting duties.

The eight arrested are -- Avinash Shukla, Anukalp Mishra, Lav Kush Mishra, Manish Kumar Yadav, Karunesh Pandey, Ram Shankar Mishra, Subhash Srivastava and Ramashankar alias Tinnu Yadav. They were associated with counting cash and valuables received as donations at the temple.
