Reliability Tier2
Tier 2: Organiser, an Indian current-affairs weekly, read directly, byline TS Venkatesan, reporting the Comptroller and Auditor General's finding that Tamil Nadu's Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department refused to cooperate with a proposed special audit of temple assets, first objecting to the CAG's jurisdiction in May 2022 and then withholding documents the CAG needed to determine whether temple revenue was being accurately collected or was leaking away; the CAG's report names no genuine standing per-temple annual account for any individual temple, Tamil Nadu's largest included. A press account of an official audit finding, carrying an individual byline, not the CAG report itself. Citation
