राम मंदिर चढ़ावा चोरी: कल फाइनल रिपोर्ट दे सकती है SIT, कई बड़े खुलासों की उम्मीद – ayodhya ram mandir donation theft sit report ntc mkg
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by the Uttar Pradesh government to investigate the case of theft of offerings in the Ram temple of Ayodhya can submit its final report on Wednesday, July 15. The three-member SIT, formed more than a month ago, was first given time to complete the investigation. Its duration was extended by 15 days, which is ending on July 15.
According to sources, SIT Ayodhya She can submit her final report in the donation theft case to Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Sanjay Prasad. However, it also remains to be seen whether the investigation team asks for some more time to file the report or completes its investigation within the stipulated time. Accountability can also be fixed by identifying those responsible for theft in the report.
Apart from this, recommendations for major changes in the donation management and monitoring system of the temple can also be a part of the report. SIT has already said that during the investigation, all important aspects including financial records, banking transactions, electronic evidence, documentary records, CCTV footage, statements of witnesses and accused have been examined. The final report will reveal the complete picture.
According to sources, the report will not be limited to just identifying the people involved in the theft. It will also investigate the entire chain of accountability due to which embezzlement continued undetected for a long time. The investigation also looked into whether supervisors, employees, officials monitoring donation collection and counting did not follow the prescribed safety standards.
Were signs of potential irregularities ignored? The report is likely to review every step of the donation management process. In this, accountability can be fixed at every level including custody of donation box, transportation of cash, counting, banking, surveillance and auditing. It was also checked whether the prescribed SOPs were followed.
Apart from this, any lack of supervision, documentation, access control, record maintenance and internal checks did not give an opportunity for the offerings of the devotees to be sent to other places. Meanwhile, Treasurer of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, Swami Govind Dev Giri Maharaj has completely rejected the speculations of his resignation. He has presented many facts in his clarification.
He said, “I live in a house with one room and a kitchen in Pune. Not a single brick of that house is in my name. The news of my resignation is completely false. I have not resigned nor do I have any such thought in my mind. I am a devotee of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. I am not one to run away from the battlefield.” On the other hand, the financial investigation of this case is also progressing rapidly.
Ayodhya Police has sought cooperation from the Income Tax Department to trace the complete financial trail of the embezzled money, identify hidden assets and find out the role of potential beneficiaries. Police are currently investigating around 50 bank accounts linked to the eight arrested accused and their family members. All bank transactions are being investigated.
The investigating agencies are trying to find out whether the stolen money was diverted through relatives’ accounts, invested in the stock market, purchased real estate or invested in any other financial instrument. The police have asked for statements, KYC records, nominees and transaction history from the banks, so that a map of the movement of money can be prepared.
The investigators are analyzing the cash deposits, large withdrawals, inter-account transfers and investments made in the accounts of the accused and their family members. Its purpose is to identify unusual assets or financial transactions that were not previously reported. Help has also been sought from the Income Tax Department as to where part of the earnings may have been invested.
This includes equity market, mutual funds, fixed income instruments or real estate. It is also being investigated whether an attempt was made to hide or layer the money through multiple transactions. The movable and immovable properties purchased during the investigation have also been examined. Investigators suspect that the embezzled money will not be limited to the accounts of the accused only.
