All eight individuals arrested in connection with the alleged embezzlement of donations collected for the Ram temple were on Monday (June 29, 2026) remanded to 14 days of judicial custody by a local court, according to case officials.

The accused were produced before Special Judge, Anti-Corruption Court, Rajat Verma through video conferencing after their earlier judicial custody expired, said Special Prosecution Officer Umesh Dubey.

Police did not apply for the custody of the accused, he added.
