Amid the uproar over alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya in the second week of June, the Uttar Pradesh government appointed a Special Investigation Team (SIT). The team — comprising Lucknow Divisional Commissioner Vijay Vishwas Pant, Inspector-General (Lucknow Range) S. Kiran and Special Secretary in the Finance Department Neelratan Kumar — submitted its preliminary report to the State government on June 23, uncovering prima facie evidence of theft and pilferage during counting of donations at the temple. Based on the SIT’s findings, the Trust filed a petition for the registration of a first information report (FIR).
