A big financial revelation has come to light in the investigation of Ayodhya Ram temple offering theft case. The investigation by the SIT and the police has found evidence of transactions in the bank accounts of the accused and their family members amounting to several times more than their income. Including this as important evidence, the investigating agencies have now started investigating the entire money trail of the stolen amount. Besides, details of houses, plots, hostels and other properties acquired by the accused are being collected and their value is being assessed.
According to sources, the police has summoned detailed information about the bank accounts of the accused and their family members from the banks. The investigation revealed that transactions worth lakhs and crores of rupees took place in many accounts, while the declared income or salary of the people concerned was much less. Investigating agencies believe that this huge difference between income and bank transactions points towards the use of stolen money and its disbursement through different accounts.
The investigation team has also taken possession of the hostel documents related to accused Tinnu Yadav and started investigating them. It is being ascertained from where the money for hostel construction and other investments came from. Similarly, houses, plots and movable and immovable properties of other accused are also being verified. Sources say that senior SIT officials can reach Ayodhya again on Wednesday or Thursday to review the progress of the investigation.
The focus of the investigating agencies is now on identifying and confiscating the properties made from the stolen money. According to sources, the police is examining the legal aspects in this regard. SIT has also included a religious story conducted by accused Anukalp in the scope of investigation. It is being told that more than five lakh rupees were spent on this event, while Anukalp's monthly salary was only Rs 18 to 20 thousand. The investigating agencies are trying to find out what was the real source of this expenditure.
On the other hand, the police has already issued notice to Anil and Gopal associated with the trust. However, till now both have not been formally interrogated. Investigating agencies say that layers of the entire financial network are being revealed by matching bank records, property documents and statements of the accused.
Investigation has been started into the assets of those who calculated the offerings. The police have also asked for details of the income of the bank employees concerned. Details of security personnel have also been sought. Many people have handed over details of income and property to the investigation team. The properties of the accused are also being investigated. Those supervising the calculations are also on the radar. The Revenue Department team along with the police is investigating the undeclared assets of bank employees, security personnel and supervisors associated with the accused.
