Claim
The RSS top leadership has decided that Champat Rai will be removed from the Ram Mandir complex and transferred far away from Ayodhya with a new responsibility.
“आरएसएस की टॉप लीडरशिप ने यह फैसला कर लिया है कि चंपत राय को राम मंदिर परिसर से हटा दिया जाएगा। चंपत राय को अयोध्या से विदा करके मीलों दूर ट्रांसफर करके नई जिम्मेदारी दी जाएगी।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The claim contains a real kernel — Rai was being forced out of his Ram Mandir Trust role amid the donation scandal, with RSS/top-leadership involvement — but presents unconfirmed specifics as a firm, made decision. As of the 29 June broadcast his exit was not finalized (it required a two-thirds trust vote at the July meeting, and he would remain a lifetime trustee), and no primary source or fact-checker corroborated that the RSS had 'decided' to transfer him 'miles away from Ayodhya' with a distinct new responsibility. The specifics are speculative sourcing dressed as settled fact, making the claim misleading rather than accurate.
