Ayodhya. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has confirmed the resignations of General Secretary Champat Rai and trustee Anil Mishra who stepped down on moral grounds amid an embezzlement row over temple donations. Trust Treasurer Swami Govind Dev Giri stated that the resignations will be formally reviewed at a high-level meeting on July 7, 2026.

The move follows a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into cash-counting irregularities leading to the arrest of eight individuals on June 25.

Reassuring millions of devotees, the Trust emphasized that all physical valuables including gold, silver bricks, and jewelry are securely accounted for with proper receipts. Officials have urged the public to ignore unverified rumors while the legal investigation proceeds.
