Claim
The most sensational revelation today is a 25-second-long CCTV clip from the 5th of June related to the donation theft.
“द मोस्ट सेंसेशनल रेवोलशन टुडे इज अ 25 सेकंड लॉन्ग सीसीटीवी क्लिप फ्रॉम द फिफ्थ ऑफ जून”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
A short CCTV clip from 5 June 2026 tied to the Ram Mandir (Ayodhya) donation-theft case did exist and was a central piece of evidence, showing accused Avinash Shukla being taken into custody. Multiple outlets confirm the June 5 footage and the donation-theft context. One outlet describes the clip as 24 seconds versus the anchor's '25 seconds'—a trivial one-second discrepancy or rounding—so the core factual claim is accurate; 'most sensational revelation' is subjective editorial framing, not a checkable fact.
