“लवकुश मिश्रा राम मंदिर में चोरी का एक आरोपी है। वो अयोध्या में ही अपना दो मंजिला घर बनवा रहा था।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Multiple mainstream outlets and wire agency ANI, dated around 1 July 2026, confirm both elements of the claim: Lavkush (Luv Kush) Mishra is named as an accused in the Ram Mandir donation theft/embezzlement case (he worked on the temple cash-counting team), and he was constructing a two-storey house in Ayodhya (a 1,000 sq ft plot registered in his wife Supriya Mishra's name), which received a demolition notice from the Ayodhya Development Authority. Both parts of the anchor's statement match the reporting as of the broadcast date.
