Enough grounds for FIR in Ram Temple donation case: VHP

Kumar said that extracts of the SIT report that appeared in the media say that in the CCTV camera footage, some people can be seen embezzling money and their names, too, have surfaced. “So, no further fact-finding is required for lodging an FIR. An FIR should be lodged earlier, investigation should be expedited and a chargesheet filed, and the case should be heard on a day-to-day basis in a fast-track court,” he said.

“Whoever has done this (embezzlement) should be punished. Ram bhakts will not get peace until the culprits are sent behind bars. We want maximum punishment for them,” Kumar said.

Sources said the SIT report contains a summary of the findings and recommendations made by the SIT. According to sources, the report is believed to highlight alleged lapses, inadequate supervision, and negligence in the maintenance, handling, and counting of donation money and valuables. The UP government said the SIT will continue the probe and submit the complete report after 15 days.
