Overview
- The three‑member state SIT submitted its final report to the Uttar Pradesh Home Department, which on Tuesday, August 18, 2026 forwarded the document to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust for review and action.
- Multiple outlets report the state panel’s final file does not name former general secretary Champat Rai or ex‑trust member Anil Mishra as accused, a finding described in coverage as a clean chit for those two officials.
- The SIT’s earlier preliminary work found repeated cash removals in the donation counting room—about 70 instances between April 27 and June 5, 2026—and CCTV footage that showed employees concealing and taking cash.
- An FIR registered on June 25 named eight counting‑room staff who have been arrested and remain in custody, and the state report lists procedural fixes such as pocketless uniforms, videography of counts, stricter frisking and weekly audits.
- The Supreme Court has reconstituted and taken supervisory control of the wider probe, invited public submissions through the Solicitor General, asked for further status reports and is monitoring whether the reconstituted SIT delivers a full criminal inquiry and systemic reforms.
