Claim
ABP News possesses the biggest exposé yet on the Ram Mandir donation theft, including firm proof of the entire trust's complicity and written confessions of the thieves.
“जनहित में आज की खबर स्टोरी में राम मंदिर में चढ़ावा चोरी पर अब तक का सबसे बड़ा खुलासा। चढ़ावा चोरी में पूरे ट्रस्ट की मिलीभगत का पुख्ता सबूत और चढ़ावा चोरों का लिखित कबूलनामा।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Central assertion that ABP holds 'firm proof of the entire trust's complicity' is unsupported: the trust's leadership is not even named in the FIR, only questioned, and Champat Rai claims to be the whistleblower. While written confessions from an accused (Avinash Shukla) do exist, the definitive 'proof of entire trust's complicity' sub-claim is false, and 'biggest exposé yet' is an unverifiable self-promotional superlative.
