The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust in Ayodhya appoints Krishna Mohan as interim general secretary following the resignation of Champat Rai and trustee Anil Mishra, amid an ongoing investigation into alleged donation theft. Sources report that the Trust accepts their resignations after allegations of misappropriation of donations surface, and that police action follows the probe. The Uttar Pradesh government orders a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe, and an FIR is reported to have been filed, with arrests made, including individuals connected to the matter. The police account cited across reports says the alleged racket studies the operational setup at the donation counting centre, including CCTV locations and staff movement routes.
Krishna Mohan, 73, is identified as a permanent trustee of the Trust. He is a retired officer from the Indian Forest Service (IFS) and has prior administrative experience, including work with the Atomic Energy Department. Reports add that he joined the Trust in September 2025, where he has been involved in administrative affairs, and is now assigned the additional responsibility of interim general secretary as the investigation proceeds.
