The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has once again questioned the prime accused in the Sabarimala gold plating case as part of its ongoing probe. Officials said the repeated interrogation is aimed at clarifying inconsistencies and gathering further evidence related to the alleged irregularities.
The case pertains to suspected lapses in the gold plating works carried out at the Sabarimala temple, which had raised concerns over transparency and accountability. Investigators are examining the role of contractors and officials involved in the project to determine the extent of responsibility.
Sources indicated that the SIT is focusing on financial transactions, procurement processes, and quality standards maintained during the gold plating work. The questioning of the prime accused is expected to shed more light on the chain of decisions and actions that led to the controversy.
Authorities emphasised that the investigation is being conducted with due diligence to ensure that the sanctity of the temple and public trust are upheld. They added that further questioning of other individuals connected to the case may follow as part of the inquiry.
The SIT’s continued efforts underline the seriousness with which the matter is being pursued, with officials reiterating that accountability will be fixed once the investigation reaches its conclusion.
