Stolen Ram Temple Donation Funds Routed into Stock Market; 30 Bank Accounts Frozen
Lucknow: An intense financial probe by the Uttar Pradesh Police into the embezzlement of donations at the Ayodhya Ram Temple has revealed that the stolen funds were laundered into the stock market.
During interrogation, the primary accused confessed to siphoning off cash during the temple's donation counting process and investing it in shares. To obscure the money trail, the stolen funds were lent out on interest and funneled through the bank accounts of relatives and close associates before being routed back as seemingly legitimate income.
In response, law enforcement authorities have frozen 30 bank accounts linked to the accused and their network to halt further asset movement. The scam, exposed by CCTV footage showing staff hiding cash in their clothing, has triggered a wider audit of the temple trust's financial protocols and led to high-profile resignations.
