Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust treasurer Govind Dev Giri Maharaj ruled out resigning over alleged embezzlement of donations at the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Giri Maharaj blamed the State Bank of India (SBI) for lapses, stating all arrested so far were SBI employees who should have been vetted by the bank.
He said the alleged embezzlement involved cash from donation boxes, not trust bank accounts, with an estimated amount of around ₹3 crore.
Giri Maharaj expressed satisfaction with the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe and the Supreme Court's monitoring of the case.
