“एसआईटी को शक है कि महाकुंभ के दौरान भी बड़े पैमाने पर चढ़ावे में चोरी हुई है। उसकी भी जांच की जाएगी।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Central assertion — SIT suspects large-scale donation theft also occurred during the Mahakumbh and will investigate it — matches multiple reports identifying the Mahakumbh (Jan–Feb 2025) as the period of the largest suspected embezzlement now within the SIT's scope.
