Leave Ayodhya or Face Jail - Ayodhya Bar Association

The State Bank of India reportedly recommended the removal of staff involved in counting donations and funds at the Ayodhya Ram Mandir nearly three months ago. The recommendation was made after suspicions emerged regarding alleged irregularities and possible theft involving the donation-counting personnel.

However, sources claim that certain trust officials prevented the removal of the employees. Meanwhile, police have recorded the statement of former trust general secretary Champat Rai in connection with the case. Notices are also likely to be issued to former trustee Anil Mishra and Gopal Rao as the investigation continues.
