Claim

There is a difference of ₹5 lakh in the daily offering amount deposited in the bank before and after June 7.

“7 जून से पहले और 7 जून के बाद चढ़ावे की रकम में ₹5 लाख का फर्क है। यह वह रकम है जो हर दिन बैंक में जमा करवाई जाती है।”

Rationale

The claim refers to the Ayodhya Ram Mandir chadhava (offering) theft case. Multiple reports confirm that daily offering deposits in the bank averaged about ₹16-18 lakh before the theft was exposed (around June 5-7) and jumped to roughly ₹22-26 lakh afterward, implying a daily difference of about ₹5-8 lakh. A ₹5 lakh difference sits at the lower end of the reported range (most sources cite ~₹6 lakh or ₹6-8 lakh), so the anchor's figure is a conservative but broadly accurate representation of the documented gap.
