Claim
While the Trust publicly stated that Champat Rai has resigned, his own aides say he has not resigned and continues to hold meetings in the guest house and run all affairs.
“इतना तो बता दीजिए चंपत राय जी ने रेिग्नेशन दिया या नहीं दिया मीडिया में स्टेटमेंट दिया गया ट्रस्ट द्वारा कि उन्होंने अपना इस्तीफा दे दिया उनके लोग कह रहे नहीं भाई बाबूजी अभी वही है गेस्ट हाउस में मीटिंग करते हैं सारा कारोबार संभाले हुए हैं”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Central assertion — the Trust publicly announced Rai's resignation while his aides say he never really resigned and still runs affairs from the guest house — matches Times Now's own sting reporting, which documents him holding meetings and running operations from the guest house post-resignation. No stated sub-detail is contradicted.
