New Delhi: Hours after the opposition parties in Uttar Pradesh alleged a land scam by Ram Mandir Trust, Twitter users expressed their anguish over the matter and slammed the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The hashtag #RamMandirScam was the top-trending topic on the micro-blogging site and had grossed over 40K tweets in no time.

Users trolled and slammed the government for allegedly pocketing money in the name of Ram Temple.

Crores of people have made donations to the Ram Temple Trust for the construction of the temple which will be built after the Supreme Court in 2019 gave a verdict in its favor in the Ayodhya-Babri Masjid case.

The documents that allegedly prove that a property located next to the Ram Janmabhoomi site was traded at a multi-fold markup were also doing rounds on Twitter. The documents are allegedly the stamp duty papers of both transactions and had common 'witnesses' -- the Mayor of Ayodhya and a local who is a member of the Trust.

Here are some of the tweets from the campaign.

New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to file its response within three days on a bail plea of journalist Mahesh Langa in a money laundering case linked to an alleged financial fraud.

A bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi also asked senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the jailed journalist, to file rejoinder, if needed, to the ED's response within two days of it being filed.

The top court fixed the case for further hearing on December 15.

During the brief hearing on Monday, Sibal said a journalist has been facing as many as six cases.

"The journalist is accused of extortion," the counsel for the ED said and sought a short adjournment on the ground that Solicitor General Tuhar Mehta was unavailable at the moment.

The top court on September 8 sought responses from the Gujarat government and the ED on Langa's bail plea.

While issuing the notices on Langa's bail plea, the bench asked, "What kind of a journalist is he?"

"With due respect, there are some very genuine journalists. But there are also people who on their scooter say we are 'patrakar' (journalists) and what they actually do everybody knows," the bench told Sibal.

Sibal replied that these are all allegations.

"In one FIR, he gets anticipatory bail, then a second FIR is lodged and again anticipatory bail is granted but now he is booked under a third FIR for income tax evasion. There are other things also against him," Sibal submitted.

He added that there is a background to the case also.

On July 31, the Gujarat High Court rejected Langa's bail plea in the money laundering case on the grounds that if released on bail, prejudice would be caused to the prosecution case.

On February 25, the ED said it arrested Langa in a money laundering investigation linked to an alleged financial fraud.

He was first arrested in October 2024 in a GST fraud case.

The money laundering case against Langa stems from two FIRs filed by Ahmedabad police on charges of fraud, criminal misappropriation, criminal breach of trust, cheating and causing wrongful loss of lakhs of rupees to certain people.
