Claim
Ayodhya police were not allowed near the counting room, and CCTV footage of the counting room was not made available to the police control room.
“अयोध्या की पुलिस का काम था फ्रिस्किंग करना। पर उसे तो काउंटिंग रूम के आसपास फटकने की भी इजाजत नहीं दी गई... जहां नोटों की काउंटिंग होनी थी उस कमरे की फुटेज पुलिस के कंट्रोल रूम को अवेलेबल नहीं कराई जाती थी।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Central assertion — Ayodhya police were kept away from the counting room and its CCTV footage was withheld from the police control room — is supported by the reporting of SIT-identified surveillance lapses; no stated detail contradicted.
