The inspection was conducted in the presence of members of the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust on Saturday July 2.

Following the latest discovery, another inspection of Yajur Mandir is on the cards, sources said.

The inspection was done following a request by the Trust to make inventory of the valuables in the room adjoining the Mandir. No valuables were found in the private chambers of Sathya Sai Baba, however, it is learnt that the Yajur Mandir contains several envelopes with cheques donated by devotees.
