An investigation into the handling of donations and offerings at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya has triggered a major political controversy. A government-ordered special investigation team is currently probing allegations of financial mismanagement, with a police complaint filed against aides of the temple trust leadership. The trust has reportedly refused to comply with a directive from the Prime Minister's Office seeking complete public disclosure of its finances, bank accounts, and land transactions.
The ongoing probe has identified several procedural lapses, including inadequate background checks for employees handling cash, poor enforcement of dress codes, and negligence in the transportation of donation boxes. Furthermore, investigators noted instances where surveillance cameras were potentially obstructed. The controversy has expanded beyond cash handling, with opposition politicians alleging that land was purchased at inflated prices using devotees' funds, prompting demands for investigations by central agencies.
The state government has assured that those found guilty of financial irregularities will face strict action.
