In the case of alleged theft of offerings in Ram temple in Ayodhya, SIT has submitted a preliminary report after investigation in which many irregularities have been mentioned. SIT has also mentioned the means of receiving the offering, in which apart from offering Hundi, online, receipt has been mentioned at the cash counter. SIT has found out from the bank accounts and inquiries of Ram Mandir Trust that on an average 25 lakh devotees come to visit Ram Temple every month, but during Kumbh, about one crore devotees came in a month.
Investigation revealed that on an average an offering of Rs 15-18 per devotee comes, but the offering of grains, oil and ghee along with gold and silver jewelery was not included in this offering because no concrete proof and evidence of their donation was found. It is mentioned in the report that looking at the back statement and the number of devotees, there was a huge fluctuation in the offerings.
Mention of more devotees and less offerings on average
In fact, there were many months in which the number of devotees increased but the offerings were less. During interrogation, the SIT was told that during that time more coins were offered than notes. It is also mentioned in the SIT report that many employees in Ram temple were doing such work for which there was no written order.
