Ram Temple embezzlement row: Supreme Court urged to secure digital evidence before it is ‘quietly lost’
Petitioners in the Ram Temple embezzlement case have urged the Supreme Court to secure digital evidence, fearing that CCTV footage and financial logs could be deleted during the court's summer vacation.
