The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) has launched a nationwide crackdown on 95 rogue monks. Pol Lt Gen Thitiraj said the CSD has compiled a list of 95 monks who are suspected of breaking the monastic code. According to the source, the CSD crackdown will go on for about two weeks. He is also among four monks and 10 laymen implicated in the temple fund embezzlement being investigated by the police's Counter-Corruption Division. The Sangha Supreme Council has issued an order instructing senior monks to toughen the screening process for men wishing to enter the monkhood.
