Claim
In the first week of June, an insider complained to Champat Rai that people were stealing donation cash by stuffing bundles of notes into their pockets.
“जून के पहले हफ्ते में इनमें से व्यक्ति ने चंपत राय से शिकायत की कि दान के नोट चुराकर लोग जेबों में गड्डियां भर रहे हैं।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Central assertion — an insider complained to Champat Rai in the first week of June about staff stuffing note bundles into their pockets — matches the whistleblower timeline in the reporting and Rai's own account that the matter was flagged to him; no stated detail contradicted, though the granular narrative rests mainly on India TV's account.
