Cash and valuables worth Rs 2 crore have reportedly been recovered, while temple functionaries, bank officials and agency representatives were questioned over donation counting, bank deposits and financial records during the six-day investigation in Ayodhya.
As allegations of donation embezzlement rock the Ayodhya Ram Mandir, a probe into the temple's internal cash-handling system has put over 50 employees and associates under scrutiny, even as the Trust has denied any wrongdoing and sought an independent investigation.
Hindu organisations reached the police station late in the evening and created a ruckus, demanding the arrest of the accused. Following this, the Sahaswan Police registered an FIR after 8:30 pm and began searching for the accused. On Tuesday (16th June), the Badaun Police arrested Faizi from the dirt road leading to the village Zahidpur Alampur.
