Claim
The SIT team has returned to Ayodhya and must submit its final report by July 10, with this round of investigation focusing most on the Ram Mandir Trust's role.
“इसके अलावा अब एसआईटी की टीम भी दोबारा अयोध्या पहुंच गई है। जिसे 10 जुलाई तक फाइनल रिपोर्ट देनी है। इस बार एसआईटी टीम की जांच राम मंदिर ट्रस्ट की भूमिका पर सबसे ज्यादा फोकस रहेगी।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Two of the claim's three elements are supported: the SIT did return to Ayodhya around July 2, 2026 for a second phase of its probe into the Ram Mandir donation-theft case, and the expanded investigation does focus on the Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust (questioning trust officials, auditing accounts, and examining trust land deals). However, the stated deadline is wrong: multiple reports from July 1, 2026 say the government extended the SIT's final-report deadline to July 15, not July 10. The claim mixes accurate developments with an incorrect deadline, making it misleading rather than fully accurate.
