The Maharshi Ramayan Vidyapeeth Trust, which was founded by Mahesh Yogi, had bought land from Dalit peoples in the early 1990s and the transaction is being probed for alleged irregularities.
The probe comes after the Indian Express published an investigative report in which it revealed that at least 15 government officials and their kin had purchased line near the temple around the time of the Supreme Court's verdict on the issue.
In addition, an investigation by the Indian Express has found that relatives of officials bought land from a trust that is being probed for illegal transfer of land that was purchased from 12 Dalit families.
