Rationale
Multiple independent outlets, including wire agency ANI and Amar Ujala on 2026-07-02 (a Thursday, matching 'today' in the broadcast), report that the Special Judge (Prevention of Corruption) court in Faizabad/Ayodhya heard the Ayodhya police's remand plea for Avinash Shukla, an accused in the Ram Mandir donation theft case, and granted a 24-hour police remand after police sought 48 hours. All elements of the claim — the anti-corruption court, the accused's name, the 24-hour duration, remand to Ayodhya police, and the date — are corroborated.
