Supreme Court Proposes SIT to Investigate Ram Temple Donation Embezzlement
Potential abuse of power and misuse of temple funds raises serious concerns.
On July 20, 2026, the Supreme Court proposed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) of senior police officers to investigate alleged embezzlement of Ram Temple donations. Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta informed the court that eight people had been arrested and that an SIT was overseeing the State Police investigation. The Chief Justice warned petitioners against politicizing the case, suggesting re-constituting the SIT for direct investigation. MP Sudhakar Singh’s counsel Devadatt Kamat urged transparency in donation records, while another advocate N.K. Goswami sought protection of electronic evidence. The court listed the case for detailed hearing on July 27.
