Sevadars Asked To Massage Feet': Ex-Ram Temple Staffer's Explosive Charges Amid Theft Probe

Sevadars Asked To Massage Feet': Ex-Ram Temple Staffer's Explosive Charges Amid Theft Probe describes allegations tied to investigations into a donation-theft case at the Ram Temple. A former employee of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, claiming about 18 months of work, told News18 India that Tinnu Yadav—described as a close associate and driver of the trust’s former general secretary Champat Rai—asked “sevadars” and employees to massage his feet. The same source alleged that ex-trust member Anil Mishra and official Gopal Rai ran temple affairs and harassed employees. The claims also say appointments and job security relied on recommendations, with influential acquaintances and relatives allegedly receiving positions, and that commissions were taken from small companies. The allegations arise as a Special Investigation Team has already arrested six people, and is examining links to a Varanasi-based security agency.
