Multiple outlets report that the Uttar Pradesh government reconstitutes a special investigation team (SIT) to probe alleged embezzlement or theft involving donations and offerings linked to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple. The team includes three IPS officers and is described as newly formed or reconstituted following a Supreme Court directive requiring a fresh investigation. Sources state that the SIT is now responsible for carrying the probe forward and conducting the investigation into the allegations connected to the temple’s donation funds.
All accounts converge on the same procedural next step: the SIT is expected to submit its status or investigation report to the top court on July 27. While details of the alleged misappropriation are not elaborated in the provided excerpts, the reporting consistently frames the development as compliance with the Supreme Court’s order and a restructuring of the investigative mechanism with senior police leadership. The reconstituted team’s findings are therefore tied to the July 27 submission deadline set by the court.
