Ram Temple Donation Theft: RJD MP Sudhakar Singh Moves Supreme Court Seeking CBI Probe & Full Donation Statement
Ram Temple Donation Theft: RJD MP Moves Supreme Court for CBI Probe into Ayodhya Trust Finances
New Delhi, July 4, 2026: In a major development that has sent shockwaves across the nation, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Sudhakar Singh has approached the Supreme Court seeking a court-monitored CBI probe into the alleged Ram Temple Donation Theft at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya.
The Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Singh demands complete transparency regarding millions of devotees’ offerings. It raises serious concerns over the administration of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, formed on February 5, 2020.
Key Demands in the Plea
- A full statement of all donations received by the Trust since its inception, including cash, bank transfers, digital payments, foreign contributions, gold, silver, and other valuables, along with details of their accounting, custody, and utilization.
- Transfer of the ongoing investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) under Supreme Court supervision for a fair, independent probe.
- Constitution of a temporary oversight committee to manage the temple’s affairs, keeping the Trust away from managerial roles until the case concludes and guilty parties are punished.
Advocates Satyam Singh Rajput and Jaswanthi A filed the plea, emphasizing issues of “exceptional public importance” concerning the protection of devotees’ faith and public confidence in one of India’s most revered religious institutions.
Background of Ram Temple Donation Theft Allegations
The controversy erupted after reports of systematic siphoning of donations surfaced. Allegations include theft of cash and valuables from donation boxes, with recoveries reported in the range of crores. An SIT probe by Uttar Pradesh police is underway, and several arrests have been made. The plea highlights the need for a higher-level investigation to ensure accountability.
RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale has also called for severe punishment for those involved, reflecting widespread concern among devotees.
This move by the RJD MP comes amid heightened scrutiny of the temple trust’s financial dealings. Devotees continue to throng the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir, offering prayers amid the ongoing row.
Why This Matters
The Ram Temple Donation Theft case has ignited debates on transparency in managing public religious contributions. A Supreme Court intervention could set a precedent for safeguarding such institutions.
