The Faizabad Bar Association has filed a written complaint at the Ram Janmabhoomi police station in the donation theft case, demanding an FIR against Champat Rai, Gopal Rao, and Anil Mishra.

Rationale
Multiple independent news outlets, including legal-news outlets LiveLaw and LawBeat and reports dated on or around the 2026-07-02 broadcast, confirm that the Faizabad Bar Association submitted a written complaint (tahrir) at the Ram Janmabhoomi police station in the Ram Mandir donation theft case, demanding an FIR against Champat Rai, Gopal Rao and Anil Mishra — exactly the three individuals named in the anchor's statement. Reports note the complaint had been filed but the FIR itself was not yet registered, which matches the anchor's wording that a complaint was given and an FIR was being demanded.
