  "content": "Police have questioned Ram Mandir donation theft accused Tinnu Yadav after a late-night raid in which a motorcycle and gold jewellery were seized from his possession, intensifying the investigation into the temple's donation theft case.\n\nWhat the Raid Turned Up\nA police team raided Tinnu Yadav's location late at night as part of the ongoing probe. The raid led to the seizure of a motorcycle and gold jewellery, both believed to be linked to the stolen donation money. Investigators are now trying to establish exactly how the seized items connect to the theft itself.\n\nHow Many Accused Are in Custody\nPolice had earlier secured a 14-hour remand for two accused, but even that window was not enough to piece together a clear timeline of the crime. A court later granted 39-hour police custody of Tinnu Yadav and Manish Yadav. Separate reports also named accused Ramashankar Yadav and his nephew as having been sent into 39-hour custody. The scope of the investigation keeps widening as more names surface.\n\nTemple Treasurer Defends Himself\nAmid the theft controversy, the temple trust's treasurer defended his personal finances, saying, \"There isn't a single brick in my name, I live in a one-room house.\" The remark appears aimed at pushing back against suggestions of embezzlement.\n\nSupreme Court to Hear Pleas on July 20\nThe Supreme Court is set to hear pleas seeking a probe into the Ram temple donation theft row on July 20. Petitioners argue that court-monitored oversight is needed to ensure a fair investigation into the case.\n\nWhat SP MP Dharmendra Yadav Said\nSamajwadi Party MP Dharmendra Yadav, commenting on the donation embezzlement probe, said, \"All facts must be placed before the public.\" His remark came ahead of Parliament's Monsoon Session, with opposition parties preparing to press the government on the issue.\n\nWhat this means for you\n• The case touches the trust of the lakhs of devotees who donate to the Ram Mandir, and the outcome of the probe could shape how the temple trust manages and accounts for donations going forward.\n\nQuestions & Answers\n\n1.
