Claim

According to sources, on July 6 there will be a vote on Champat Rai and Anil Mishra's resignations; the Trust has 10 members, two have resigned, so eight will vote, and the resignations will be accepted only if five of the eight vote in favor.

“सूत्रों से खबर है कि 6 जुलाई को चंपत राय अनिल मिश्रा के इस्तीफे पर वोटिंग होगी। ट्रस्ट में 10 सदस्य हैं। जिसमें से दो का इस्तीफा हो चुका है। यानी 10 में से आठ ट्रस्ट वोटिंग में हिस्सा लेंगे। इस्तीफा तभी मंजूर होगा जब मौजूदा आठ में से पांच सदस्य इस्तीफे के पक्ष में वोट देंगे।”

Rationale

The verifiable core of the claim is true: Champat Rai and Anil Mishra resigned on June 26–27, 2026 amid the Ram Mandir donation-theft case, and the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust scheduled a July 6 meeting to vote on accepting the resignations. However, the anchor's specific numbers conflict with contemporaneous reporting. Most outlets (Amar Ujala, NewsX, Dynamite News) report the Trust currently has 14 members with 12 participating after the two resignations, and — critically — that trust bylaws require a TWO-THIRDS majority to accept a resignation, not the simple-majority '5 of the 8' the anchor described. Even the account closest to the anchor's framing (10 permanent voting trustees) yields roughly 7 voters due to a vacancy and an ailing president, not 8. The claim was attributed to unnamed 'sources' and no dedicated fact-check by AltNews, BOOM, Factly, Newschecker, or PIB was found, and media accounts themselves diverge on exact numbers, so confidence is moderate. Overall: the event is real, but the membership count, voter count, and majority threshold presented as fact are contradicted by the weight of reporting as of the broadcast date.
