Claim

Before the theft was exposed on 7 June, daily offerings at Ram Mandir averaged ₹16–18 lakh; after 7 June they average ₹22–24 lakh — an average increase of ₹5 lakh per day since the theft stopped.

“7 जून यानी चढ़ावा चोरी का खुलासा होने से पहले हर दिन औसतन 16 से 18 लाख के का चढ़ावा वहां पर आता था... 7 जून के बाद हर दिन 22 से 24 लाख का चढ़ावा आ रहा है... हर दिन के चढ़ावे में औसतन ₹5 लाख की बढ़ोतरी हो गई है।”

Rationale

The anchor's core figures match mainstream Indian reporting: daily offerings averaged ₹16–18 lakh before the theft surfaced and rose to roughly ₹22–24 lakh (some outlets say ₹24–26 lakh) afterward. The stated ₹5 lakh average increase is a slight understatement—most reports and the claim's own ranges imply about ₹6 lakh—but is within reporting variance. The attribution to the theft stopping reflects the leading explanation cited by investigators (the jump roughly equals the ₹6–8 lakh estimated daily embezzlement), though it remains an allegation under active SIT investigation and some coverage also credits higher devotee footfall. On balance the quantitative claims are well-supported by multiple sources, making the statement substantially accurate.
