Dehradun, July 20 -- A special investigation team (SIT) of the Chamoli police has sought the donation record of the last three years from the Badrinath Kedarnath Temple Committee (BKTC) in connection with the alleged Badrinath Dham donation theft case, officials said. They added that they are also examining the possible involvement of more people beyond the two accused arrested so far. Badrinath station house officer (SHO) Mahadev Uniyal said, "As our investigation proceeds, we have asked the BKTC to provide us the donation record of the last three years." He said, "We arrested the two accused after concrete evidence was found against them. We suspect that more people may be involved in the theft. It will take time to gather evidence against them. The investigation is still at an early stage." The SIT on Friday arrested retired BKTC temple officer Rajendra Chauhan for allegedly stealing cash from the counting room on three occasions before his retirement on June 30. Police also recovered foreign currency, saffron and other assets during a raid at the accommodation allotted to Chauhan at Badrinath temple. "We recovered foreign currency, saffron and other materials like ghee from the room allotted to the accused as temple officer at the Badrinath Dham," said Uniyal. On Saturday, Chauhan was produced before a sessions court in Chamoli and sent to 14-day judicial custody. Earlier, suspended personal assistant to the chairman's office, Pramod Nautiyal, was arrested from his home in Dehradun. Uniyal said on Wednesday that Nautiyal was allegedly not cooperating with investigators. Police have so far not recovered any stolen cash, gold or silver coins from Nautiyal, apart from a Shaligram stone. The alleged donation theft is being investigated on multiple fronts. A four-member internal committee constituted by the BKTC has submitted its preliminary report to the committee chairman. Separately, a police SIT is probing the case, while a high-level committee constituted by the Uttarakhand government is conducting an independent inquiry. The alleged theft came to light after irregularities were detected during the counting of devotees' donations at Badrinath temple on July 2, prompting an internal inquiry by the BKTC. A four-member committee initially found prima facie lapses in how cash and offerings were handled, leading to the suspension of personal assistant Pramod Nautiyal and an FIR against him. The Uttarakhand government subsequently set up a separate high-level panel, even as police and the SIT launched parallel probes into suspected misappropriation of cash, gold and silver coins and other offerings from the counting room. Badrinath, located in Chamoli district along the banks of the Alaknanda River at a height of 3,133 metres, is one of the holiest shrines for Hindus. It is also part of the Panch Badri temples, which include Yog Dhyan Badri, Bhavishya Badri, Adi Badri and Vriddha Badri. The temple is about 50 feet tall with a small cupola on top and a gold-gilt roof. The complex houses 15 idols, including the image of Lord Badarinath sculpted in black stone. According to local priests, Adiguru Shankaracharya discovered a black stone image of Lord Badarinarayan made of Shaligram stone in the Alaknanda River and originally enshrined it in a cave near the Tapt Kund hot springs. In the 16th century, the King of Garhwal moved the idol to the present temple site....
