Claim
On 16 October 2025, Lavkush Mishra bought land worth ₹25 lakh in his wife Supriya's name, but showed the registry value as only about ₹8,80,000.
“16 अक्टूबर 2025 को लवकुश ने पत्नी सुप्रिया के नाम पर ₹25 लाख की कीमत की जमीन खरीदी... लवकुश मिश्रा ने 25 लाख की जमीन की रजिस्ट्री की कीमत करीब ₹8,80,000 दिखा दी।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The claim matches contemporaneous reporting on the Ram Mandir donation-theft investigation: multiple outlets, including AajTak, report that Lavkush Mishra purchased land in his wife Supriya's name on 16 October 2025 in Sohawal tehsil, Ayodhya, that the registry recorded the value as about ₹8.8 lakh, and that the land's market value is estimated at roughly ₹25 lakh. The anchor's figures, date, and names align with these reports. Caveats: the ₹25 lakh figure is an estimated market value cited by investigators/media rather than a documented sale price, the matter was still under SIT investigation as of the broadcast date, and no dedicated fact-checker (AltNews, BOOM, Factly, Newschecker, PIB) has independently examined the registry documents — hence moderate rather than high confidence.
