Rationale
Multiple independent outlets, including wire agency ANI, dated 2026-07-02 (the broadcast date), confirm the bar association in Ayodhya submitted a written complaint (tehreer) to police at the Ram Janmabhoomi station demanding a case be registered against Champat Rai, Anil Mishra and Gopal Rao over alleged embezzlement of Ram Mandir donations. Minor naming variance exists (some reports call it the Faizabad Bar Association, the district's bar body), and some say four persons were named, but the core claim — who complained, against whom, and when — matches the reporting.
