Claim
It has been 19 days since the Yogi government constituted a Special Investigation Team, and 7 days since the FIR was finally registered, with eight accused arrested.

Rationale
The claim refers to the Ayodhya Ram Mandir donation-theft case. The UP (Yogi) government constituted the SIT on June 13, 2026, which is 19 days before the July 2, 2026 broadcast. The FIR was registered June 25, 2026, which is exactly 7 days before the broadcast, and eight accused were arrested. All three numeric elements match the documented record (one source gives the SIT date as June 14, a one-day discrepancy that does not materially change the claim).
