The Story in Brief
Ayodhya SSP Gaurav Grover said the investigation into alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ram temple is complete, and a chargesheet must be filed in court by end of September. The four-member SIT, headed by IGP S Kiran, is coordinating with police. Eight accused, including former temple trust general secretary Champat Rai's close aide Tinnu Yadav, are in jail.
But no prominent temple figure has faced legal action so far, sources said. The SIT earlier questioned the role of former trust member Anil Mishra. Faizabad Bar Association president Kalika Mishra said the Bar will move court to get an FIR registered against Champat Rai, Anil Mishra, and Gopal Rao if they are not named in the chargesheet.
The Indian Opinion
The SIT’s completion of the probe is progress, but questions linger. While eight lower-level accused are in jail, the Bar Association has flagged the absence of Champat Rai, Anil Mishra, and Gopal Rao in the FIR. Ordinary devotees want to know: will those at the top face the same scrutiny as the small players, or will this remain a case of punyaji caught, pradhan untouched? The chargesheet, due in weeks, will settle whether the law applies equally at the Ram temple.
