Rationale
Central assertion — top officials knew on June 4, recovered money on June 5, filed no FIR, yet remain in position. The FIR delay and pre-FIR recovery of cash by a trust member are corroborated, but the precise June 4 (knew) and June 5 (recovered) dates and the specific allegation that 'those at the top' personally recovered money and covered it up are the channel's own investigative claim and could not be independently confirmed; public sources place the surfacing at ~June 7. Insufficient evidence to confirm or contradict the specific dates.
