Claim
Theft accused Lavkush Mishra bought a plot in his wife Supriya Mishra's name in Ayodhya's Shahadatganj locality and was building a three-storey house on it, with the total cost of plot and construction said to exceed ₹1 crore.
“लवकुश मिश्रा ने अयोध्या के शहादतगंज मोहल्ले में अपनी वाइफ सुप्रिया मिश्रा के नाम से एक प्लॉट खरीदा था। इस प्लॉट पर वह तीन मंजिला घर बनवा रहा था। प्लॉट और इस पर कंस्ट्रक्शन की कुल लागत ₹1 करोड़ से ज्यादा की बताई जा रही है।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Multiple independent outlets (The Federal, TV9 Hindi, AajTak, Telangana Today, The Week) corroborate every element of the claim as of the 2026-07-02 broadcast: theft accused Lavkush Mishra bought a ~1,000 sq ft plot in Ayodhya's Shahadatganj locality in wife Supriya Mishra's name (registered October 2025), a three-storey house was under construction on it (two floors complete, third underway), and investigators estimated construction at Rs 80-90 lakh with total investment including land around Rs 1.5 crore — consistent with the anchor's hedged statement that the total 'is said to' exceed Rs 1 crore. The figures are investigator/media estimates rather than audited valuations, which caps confidence slightly, and no fact-checker has disputed the reporting.
