Claim
The SIT team has returned to Ayodhya, must submit its final report by July 10, and this time its investigation will focus most on the Ram Mandir Trust's role.
“एसआईटी की टीम भी दोबारा अयोध्या पहुंच गई है। जिसे 10 जुलाई तक फाइनल रिपोर्ट देनी है। इस बार एसआईटी टीम की जांच राम मंदिर ट्रस्ट की भूमिका पर सबसे ज्यादा फोकस रहेगी।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Two elements of the claim are accurate: the SIT did return to Ayodhya (July 2) and its investigation does centre on the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust's role (re-auditing five years of accounts, questioning trustees). However, the stated deadline is wrong: one day before the broadcast (July 1), the UP government extended the SIT's final-report deadline to July 15, 2026, not July 10. Presenting an incorrect deadline alongside otherwise correct facts makes the claim misleading.
