The former secretary of the Ram Mandir trust, who has been accused of involvement in alleged fund theft, announced that he has taken a 'vow of silence' and will only respond after the Special Investigation Team (SIT) submits its final report.
Former Secretary's Statement
In a brief statement, the former secretary, identified as Rai, said he was sent to Ayodhya in October 1991. He added that he has taken a vow of silence and will not comment on the allegations until the SIT completes its investigation and releases its final report.
Allegations of Fund Theft
The Ram Mandir trust has been under scrutiny following allegations of misappropriation of funds collected for the construction of the temple. The SIT was formed to investigate these claims and has been gathering evidence and testimonies from various individuals associated with the trust.
According to sources, the SIT has examined financial records and interviewed several key figures. The investigation is expected to conclude soon, with the final report likely to shed light on the extent of the alleged theft and identify those responsible.
Background
Rai served as the secretary of the trust for many years and was responsible for managing donations and funds. His decision to remain silent until the SIT report is released has raised eyebrows, with some interpreting it as an attempt to avoid scrutiny.
The Ram Mandir construction has been a highly sensitive and politically charged issue in India. The allegations of fund theft have added to the controversy, prompting demands for transparency and accountability from the trust's management.
As the SIT finalizes its report, all eyes are on the findings that could have significant implications for the trust and the temple project.
