ADA Gives Wife of Ram Temple Accused Seven Days to Produce House Papers

A seven-day deadline compels rapid production of property records to support an ongoing criminal probe into temple donations.

Overview

  • The Ayodhya Development Authority granted Supriya Mishra seven days on Wednesday to submit all documents for an under-construction house in Banvirpur after she requested a one-month extension and visited the ADA office with her daughter and father.
  • ADA officials had pasted a final notice on the two-storey building in Sahadatganj and warned the property could be sealed if the approved plan and other records are not produced under provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973.
  • The deadline is tied to a wider Special Investigation Team probe that produced an FIR on June 25 and arrests of eight people involved in the temple donation-counting process on June 26.
  • Investigators report cash recoveries of about Rs 79.85 lakh from seven accused, including Rs 14.25 lakh from Lavkush Mishra and Rs 20.39 lakh from Avinash Shukla, and seized a donation box labeled 'Ramrajya Kosh', foreign currency, gold and silver during searches.
  • Two trust functionaries have resigned and ADA enforcement plus continuing SIT inquiries raise the likelihood of further scrutiny or seizure of properties if records do not match investigators' findings.
