No shielding from accountability, scope of probe must be expanded: Congress on Ram temple donation theft
Congress has called for a broader investigation into alleged theft of donations at the Ram temple, saying accountability should extend beyond the eight arrested employees. The party demands scrutiny of those overseeing construction, management and handling of offerings.

The Indian National Congress has called for a broader investigation into the alleged theft of donations at the Ram temple. The party said that accountability should not be limited only to the eight employees who have already been arrested. The allegations involve the handling of offerings and the management of construction work at the temple premises. Congress has urged that all parties involved in the temple’s operations be examined.
The call for a wider probe reflects concerns about transparency in the management of religious sites. The party believes that those who oversee the construction, the day‑to‑day management and the handling of offerings should be held to the same standard of scrutiny. Congress also highlighted the importance of restoring public confidence in the temple’s administration.
The demand for a more extensive investigation could lead to changes in how the temple’s affairs are managed. It may prompt the authorities to appoint independent auditors or to bring in external oversight. The outcome of the probe will be closely watched by the public, as it could set a precedent for how donations are handled at other religious institutions across the country.
