# Ayodhya temple donation probe nearly done, chargesheet due by September 2026-08-08T10:04:50+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Ayodhya Police have completed most of the investigation into the alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ram temple. Senior Superintendent of Police Gaurav Grover said the chargesheet must be filed in court by the end of September. The Special Investigation Team, headed by IGP Kiran S, is acting as an adviser to the probe, not running it separately. Eight accused, including Champat Rai's close aide Tinnu Yadav, are in jail. No prominent temple figure has faced legal action. The Faizabad Bar Association president Kalika Mishra said he will move court if the FIR does not include Champat Rai, Anil Mishra and Gopal Rao. The Supreme Court ordered the SIT to include a forensic auditor and submit its first status report within two weeks. ## Coverage - thefederal.com - thehindu.com Tags: Ayodhya Ram Temple, donation embezzlement, Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, SIT probe, Uttar Pradesh Police Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ayodhya-temple-donation-probe-complete-chargesheet-due-by-september-end/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
