Claim
The SIT collected evidence over five days, confronted Subhash Srivastava and Tinnu Yadav, and interrogated about 70 people.
“एसआईटी ने सारे सबूत इकट्ठा किए। पांच दिन जान लगा दी। सुभाष श्रीवास्तव और टिनू यादव को कंफ्रंट किया... करीब 70 लोगों को इंटेरोगेट किया।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The core claims are corroborated by multiple Indian news reports: the SIT did collect evidence, and Subhash Srivastava and Tinnu Yadav were confronted/interrogated (both arrested as central accused). The 'about 70 people' figure aligns with reporting that roughly 70 suspects are under the scanner and that more than five dozen (60+) were questioned during the SIT's on-site visit (total questioning reached ~150). The 'five days' is a minor imprecision — reporting says the SIT spent six days in Ayodhya. Numbers are approximate but consistent with contemporaneous reporting, so the statement is substantially accurate.
