Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reiterated that the administration acted swiftly after receiving the theft report, forming the SIT and initiating legal action against the accused. He noted that more than 1,100 staff members manage the temple complex, and a few have already been identified as part of the criminal network. The CM condemned attempts to place the entire temple administration, including priests and employees, under a collective spotlight, calling such moves "unfortunate and irresponsible."
