RJD MP moves Supreme Court seeking CBI probe into Ram Janmabhoomi Trust finances

The petition also seeks constitution of a temporary court-monitored oversight committee comprising retired judicial officers, financial experts and persons of “impeccable integrity” to oversee the Trust’s secular financial and administrative affairs during the pendency of the investigation. It clarifies that the prayers do not seek any interference with the religious rituals, customs or practices associated with the Ram Mandir and are confined to ensuring transparency and accountability in the Trust’s financial administration. Besides CBI probe, the petition has also sought directions to preserve all physical and electronic financial records, including account books, bank records, UPI logs, CCTV footage, emails and servers, to prevent destruction or tampering of evidence.
