India, July 1 -- The investigation into the alleged embezzlement of donations at Ayodhya's Ram Temple in Uttar Pradesh has moved from arrests to legal proceedings and asset and fund recovery.

Police arrested eight people in connection with the case last week after the UP police registered an FIR based on the complaint from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, which manages the temple. These eight men are: Anukalp Mishra, Avinash Shukla, Karunesh Pandey, Manish Yadav, Lavkush Mishra, Ramashankar Mishra, and Subhash Srivastava.

As police dig deeper into the roles of the eight suspects and the loopholes that led to the alleged embezzlement, they have already recovered Rs.79.85 lakh in cash from seven of the eight suspects.
