Krishna Mohan is appointed interim general secretary of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, replacing Champat Rai after Rai resigns amid allegations linked to theft or embezzlement of donations. According to reports, a key meeting of the trust is held in Ayodhya on Monday, during which the change in role is announced. Times of India also reports that trustee Anil Mishra steps down alongside Rai, as Rai cites “moral responsibility” in relation to the donation embezzlement allegations.
The Uttar Pradesh government orders an investigation, and an FIR is registered in connection with the case. The reports mention arrests being made as part of the case and describe the trust’s position that a thorough investigation should be conducted, alongside administrative reforms aimed at improving transparency.
While details of the allegations and the scope of arrests are not fully elaborated across the two accounts, both sources agree on the leadership change within the trust and on the ongoing official probe following the donation-related controversy.
