Ram Temple donation case: Court grants 14-hour police remand of two more accused

A special court in Ayodhya granted a 14-hour police remand of Subhash Chandra Srivastava and Ramashankar Mishra in the Ram Temple donation embezzlement case.
Investigators will confront the two accused with disclosures from co-accused to verify roles, reconstruct the alleged conspiracy, and examine the temple's cash-counting system.
Previous interrogations of four other accused (Avinash Shukla, Anukalp Mishra, Lavkush Mishra, Karunesh Pandey) led to recovery of two four-wheelers, cash, gold ornaments, and investment documents.
Police are investigating allegations that stolen donations were invested in the share market and used for interest-based lending to conceal origin.
More than two dozen bank accounts of relatives and associates of the accused have been frozen due to transactions disproportionate to known income.
