Ayodhya lawyers boycott defence of Ram Temple donation theft accused

Eight individuals accused of stealing offerings from the Ram Temple in Ayodhya are struggling to secure legal representation. Local lawyers have collectively refused to defend them, with the Faizabad Bar Association preparing to officially ratify the decision. The lawyers cited hurt religious sentiments as the reason for their boycott. Police have conducted raids on the residences of the accused as part of the ongoing investigation. Authorities have so far recovered nearly Rs 80 lakh linked to the alleged theft of temple donations.
