The Allegations
What is 'Chanda Chori'?
In July 2024, Acharya Satyendra Das, the long-serving head priest of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple, publicly alleged widespread looting of donation funds and inflated land acquisitions. The accusation originated from inside the temple hierarchy.
- 1
Inflated Land Acquisitions
Allegations that land parcels surrounding the temple complex were bought at several times the prevailing market rates. The head priest publicly estimated alleged losses exceeding ₹1,400 Crore.
- 2
Cash Donations & Temple Hundi Accounting
Allegations regarding the misappropriation of cash donations from temple donation boxes (hundi) and nationwide collection drives. No independent forensic audit has been released to the public.
- 3
Named Trust Officials
The head priest directly named Trust General Secretary Champat Rai and executive member Dr. Anil Mishra. Both officials have denied all wrongdoing.
- 4
State Silence & Sealed Probe
Following the public controversy, the state government formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT). Two years later, the findings remain locked inside government files without public disclosure.
"The Trust is looting the temple money. Land for Ram Lalla is being purchased at several times the real market value."
