India's Ram Janmabhoomi temple trust announced a new chief executive position on 7 July, with a panel to vet candidates. The move follows resignations by general secretary Champat Rai and official Anil Mishra after police investigated alleged embezzlement of 5.82 billion rupees in donations. A retired forest officer affiliated with the RSS took the interim post, signaling a push to strengthen financial controls at this politically significant shrine.
