A fresh controversy has surfaced over land purchases linked to the Ayodhya Ram Temple, with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh alleging large-scale financial irregularities in property transactions carried out by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.

The AAP leader has submitted a letter to the head of Uttar Pradesh’s Special Investigation Team (SIT), claiming that several land purchases made by the trust involved significant discrepancies and caused losses worth crores of rupees.

Singh has demanded a detailed and impartial investigation into the transactions, alleging that previous complaints regarding similar issues did not result in any concrete action.

Allegations of Financial Irregularities

According to the letter, accessed by ABP News, Singh claimed several land deals linked to the temple trust raise serious questions about valuation and pricing.

He alleged that some properties were initially purchased at relatively low prices and were subsequently acquired at substantially higher rates, resulting in alleged financial irregularities.

The Rajya Sabha MP claimed that these transactions led to losses running into crores of rupees and warranted a thorough investigation by the authorities.

Documents Submitted to Authorities

Singh arrived in Lucknow on Wednesday carrying what he described as documentary evidence related to the alleged irregularities.

According to him, the documents include records connected to more than a dozen properties purchased by the trust. He is scheduled to meet Divisional Commissioner Vijay Vishwas Pant and hand over the documents for examination.

The AAP leader said the records would help investigators scrutinise the land transactions and determine whether any wrongdoing had occurred.

Appearance Before SIT

Apart from meeting administrative officials, Singh is also expected to appear before the Special Investigation Team investigating the matter.

He plans to record his statement before the SIT and submit all documents and evidence he has collected regarding the alleged land transactions.

In his communication to the investigation team, Singh urged officials to examine the attached documents and take strict action against anyone found responsible for irregularities.

Allegations of Favouritism in Land Purchases

Singh further alleged that the trust adopted different standards while purchasing land parcels in and around Ayodhya.

According to him, plots located close to the Ram Temple were acquired at comparatively lower prices, while properties situated farther away were purchased at significantly higher rates.

He claimed that some of the allegedly expensive land parcels belonged to individuals with close links to the trust and alleged that these transactions benefited certain people unfairly.

Demand for Comprehensive Probe

The AAP leader has asked the SIT to investigate multiple land transactions associated with the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.

He alleged that in several instances, the trust purchased properties shortly after they had been acquired by other parties, but at substantially higher prices.

The allegations are currently claims made by Sanjay Singh, and the matter remains under investigation. No findings have yet been announced by the SIT regarding the transactions cited in his complaint.
