Overview
- The Special Investigation Team has intensified questioning of key figures and staff, including repeated summons to Ramashankar 'Tinnu' Yadav, while demanding registers, digital receipts and jewellery inventories for documentary verification.
- Investigators say the biggest unresolved issue is a persistent mismatch between recorded offerings and the physical accounting of jewellery and other valuables, prompting a focused audit of safes, bank deposits and counting procedures.
- Nripendra Mishra has called for a complete reworking of the temple’s management structure and said SOPs issued in 2023–25 were not followed, while trust leaders face scrutiny over informal supervision and unclear task allocation.
- Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited Ayodhya, urged anyone with evidence to hand it to the SIT and warned that those found guilty will not be spared, and a separate police complaint in Mathura has been filed against Dinesh 'Falahari' Maharaj after his demand for a CBI probe.
- The SIT continues documentary audits and re‑interviews with no determination of wrongdoing yet, a process that could lead to internal governance changes at the trust or calls for central agency involvement if gaps remain unresolved.
