Key Questions Answered
The defense counsel withdrew the existing bail application as 'not pressed' because sections 305 and 306, which were initially registered in the FIR, were removed from the chargesheet filed by the investigating officer. Due to this significant change, a new bail application will be filed in court.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) filed a comprehensive chargesheet running more than 7,000 pages against the eight accused in connection with the unauthorised removal and misappropriation of currency during the temple's donation-counting process.
The FIR was originally registered under BNS sections 305, 306, 316(5), 317(4), 317(5), 61, and 3(5), alongside charges related to temple theft, criminal breach of trust, criminal conspiracy, and concealing stolen property.
