Ram Temple trust accepts Champat Rai's resignation in donation theft case

In the alleged Ram Mandir donation theft case, Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust Treasurer Swami Govind Giri has officially confirmed that General Secretary Champat Rai has resigned from the Trust. While reports of Rai's resignation had surfaced earlier, this is the first official confirmation from the Trust's top leadership. Soon after, the Ram Mandir Trust also issued a statement confirming that it has received Champat Rai's resignation. The Trust further stated that trustee Anil Mishra has also submitted his resignation.

The resignations come as the investigation into the alleged theft of donations at the Ayodhya Ram Temple continues. The case has drawn widespread attention following allegations of financial irregularities in the handling of devotees' offerings, with the Special Investigation



Team (SIT) probing the matter. 

The Trust has also announced that its next scheduled meeting will be held on July 11. According to Trust members, meetings are typically held every three months, but the upcoming session is likely to focus heavily on the current crisis and the allegations being investigated.

Sources indicate that proposals related to internal investigation, accountability measures, and administrative restructuring may be placed before the board during the meeting. It is also expected that discussions could be held on the appointment of a new General Secretary in place of Champat Rai, as well as a possible replacement for Dr. Anil Mishra.

Sources suggest that the appointment of a new CEO for the Ram Mandir complex may also be considered.
