Allahabad HC judge suggests death penalty for corruption, cites Ram Mandir donation theft allegations
Justice Sreedharan of the Allahabad High Court suggested the death penalty for severe corruption cases, citing the alleged theft of ₹5 crore to ₹7.5 crore from Ram Mandir donations as a critical example. He criticized the normalization of corruption in India and noted the lack of public outrage regarding the country's low ranking in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index. The judge's remarks come amid ongoing investigations into the theft, which has led to the arrest of eight individuals, including temple staff.
