A former IPS officer and social activist has written to Uttar Pradesh’s director general of police seeking further investigation into an alleged embezzlement case linked to the Ram Temple. The Hindu reports that the investigation’s scope had expanded, while criminal charges ultimately remained against eight people.

A former Indian Police Service officer and social activist has written to the Uttar Pradesh director general of police seeking further investigation into an alleged embezzlement case linked to the Ram Temple. According to The Hindu, the letter argued that the scope of the investigation had continued to expand. Despite that, the number of people ultimately facing criminal charges remained limited to eight.

The available material does not identify the activist, describe the alleged financial irregularities or state the value of any funds involved. It also does not explain how the investigation expanded or identify the eight people facing charges. The appeal was directed to the state’s police chief, but the supplied account does not say whether the request was accepted, whether further investigative steps were ordered or what stage the case had reached.

The report therefore describes a call for a broader inquiry and a concern about the limited number of accused people. It does not establish the allegations as proven and includes no response from the police, prosecutors or those facing charges.
