Claim
The Faizabad Bar Association has filed a written complaint at the Ram Janmabhoomi police station in the donation theft case, demanding an FIR be registered against Champat Rai, Gopal Rao, and Anil Mishra.
“फैजाबाद बार एसोसिएशन ने चढ़ावा चोरी मामले में राम जन्मभूमि थाने में लिखित शिकायत भी दी है। चंपत राय, गोपाल राव, अनिल मिश्रा के खिलाफ एफआईआर दर्ज करवाने की मांग की है।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Multiple independent reports from the broadcast date (IANS wire, The Tribune, Republic, Hindi outlets) confirm that on 2 July 2026 the Faizabad Bar Association submitted a written complaint (tahrir) at the Ram Janmabhoomi police station in Ayodhya demanding an FIR against Champat Rai, Anil Mishra and Gopal Rao in the Ram Mandir donation ('chadhava') theft case. All three named individuals and the police station match the anchor's statement; as of the broadcast the complaint had been filed but an FIR had not yet been registered, which is consistent with the claim's wording that an FIR was being demanded.
