Rationale
Multiple independent Indian outlets, including an ANI wire report, confirm every element of the claim: the Ayodhya/Faizabad Bar Association sought an FIR and action against trust functionaries Champat Rai, Anil Mishra and Gopal Rao in the Ram temple donation-embezzlement case; the three were not among those named accused in the original FIR (which named eight arrested cash-counting staff); the Bar gave a three-day ultimatum for them to leave Ayodhya; and it threatened a city-wide blockade otherwise. The only minor caveat is timing—the Bar's march/complaint is widely dated 2 July 2026, slightly after the 29 June broadcast—but the substance of the anchor's statement matches the documented events.
