“Will not spare criminals…” Indresh Kumar’s big statement and Champat Rai’s resignation
The echo of this grand theft has now reached the political and religious circles of Delhi. RSS National Executive member Indresh Kumar has taken a tough stand on this incident and said, “SIT is investigating the case. Ayodhya’s Ram Rajya is such that criminals are never forgiven here, they will be given severe punishment.” The biggest shock in this entire scandal came when within just two days of the submission of the preliminary report of the SIT, the most powerful General Secretary of the Ram Mandir Trust Champat Rai and Trustee Dr. Anil Mishra suddenly resigned from their posts. Although these big names have not been named in the first FIR, their resignations have deepened the suspense of a very big ‘syndicate’ being behind this conspiracy.
“Robbery has taken place in Ram temple”: sharp attack of the opposition and helplessness of our own people
On this high-profile case, Samajwadi Party MP Awadhesh Prasad has called it the biggest robbery of the country. He said that this is not a trivial matter, but an attack on the faith of crores of devotees from all over the world who used to come here every day for darshan. SP leader Rajeev Rai also alleged that this bloody game was being played from the beginning under the guise of the temple trust. On the other hand, the scene of the houses of the arrested accused was very emotional and shocking. When the police reached Anukalp Mishra’s house in Kaushalpuri, his mother and 72-year-old grandfather Jagdamba Mishra were seen in a delirious condition. Crying, grandfather said, “He was just studying, we had no idea what dark deeds he was doing in the temple.”
6 years loyal and the game was going on under the cover of Yoga Centre?
Chhannu Lal, father of accused Ramashankar Mishra, said that his son was engaged in the service of the temple for the last 6 years, but despite not recovering anything from his house, the police got some secret documents signed. At the same time, it was found out about another accused Avinash Shukla that he was living on rent in Kaushalpuri by associating himself with a yoga center and was missing since the script of the murder was written.
Cabinet Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar and BJP MP Ghulam Ali have made it clear that the hand of the law is very long and whoever comes in the circle of this sin will have to lose his chair. At present, during the 3-day jail remand, the police is busy in finding out the last truth about the mobile data and bank lockers of all these 8 accused, which has tarnished the court of Ram Lalla.
