Supreme Court Tells Petitioners: Wait for SIT to Probe Ram Temple Donations Misuse
Alleged theft of temple donations raises concerns about institutional accountability.
On August 17, 2026, the Supreme Court took a hands-off approach regarding the Ram Temple donations misappropriation case, instructing petitioners to let the Special Investigation Team (SIT) conclude its probe. The court emphasized that anyone with further suggestions could contact the office of Solicitor General directly. The SIT was constituted on July 27, 2026, chaired by Kiran S., Inspector General of Police. The petitioners had sought a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe and full publication of financial details from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.
