Claim
Police have recorded Champat Rai's statement, are preparing to question Anil Mishra and Gopal Rao, and the eight arrested accused in the case have been sent to jail until July 13.
“पुलिस चंपत राय का बयान दर्ज कर चुकी है। अब अनिल मिश्रा और गोपाल राव से पूछताछ की तैयारी हो रही है। इस मामले में जो आठ आरोपी अरेस्ट हुए हैं, उन्हें 13 जुलाई तक के लिए जेल भेज दिया गया है।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The core, checkable elements are corroborated by multiple Indian outlets covering the Ayodhya Ram Mandir donation-theft case: eight accused were arrested and remanded to 14-day judicial custody (staying in jail until the next hearing on July 13), and police recorded statements of former Trust officials including Champat Rai. The only imprecise element is the framing that police were merely 'preparing to question' Anil Mishra and Gopal Rao — June 29 reports indicate all three had already been questioned/their statements recorded around this time — but this is a minor sequencing nuance rather than a factual error, so the claim is substantially accurate.
