Claim
The SIT visited the Ram Mandir again today and began a fresh round of investigation.
“हालांकि आज एसआईटी एक बार फिर राम मंदिर पहुंची जहां उसने नए सिरे से जांच शुरू की।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Contemporaneous reporting corroborates the claim: on July 2, 2026 (the broadcast date, a Thursday), the SIT returned to Ayodhya/the Ram Mandir complex to begin an expanded second phase of its investigation into the donation theft case, having just received a 15-day extension until July 15. The characterization 'reached the Ram Mandir again today and began a fresh round of investigation' matches these reports; minor ambiguity remains only over whether the team entered the temple premises itself that day versus resuming work in Ayodhya.
