SIT Constituted to Probe Allegations
The remarks come amid discussions over allegations of missing donations linked to the Ram Temple in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya.
On June 14, the state government constituted a three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the alleged scam involving offerings made at the Ram Mandir, following a request from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir Trust. The SIT comprises Vijay Vishwas Pant, IAS, Divisional Commissioner, Lucknow; Kiran S, IPS, IG (Range); and Neel Ratan, Special Secretary, Finance. The committee has been directed to submit its preliminary and final reports at the earliest. (ANI)
