Why it matters
The case highlights concerns regarding accountability and the thoroughness of law enforcement investigations into high-profile religious and financial institutions.
Former Indian Police Service (IPS) officer and social activist Amitabh Thakur on Friday (September 25, 2026) demanded further investigation sought in the Ram Mandir donation case and serious questions over the SIT chargesheet in the Ram Mandir donation case. Mr. Thakur, in a letter addressed to the UP Director General of Police (DGP) said while the scope of the investigation continued to expand, the number of persons facing criminal charges ultimately remained limited to eight and added this raises serious questions about whether the responsibility of persons and institutional/supervisory levels identified during the earlier stages of the investigation was adequately examined.
