Claim
Champat Rai, who is facing questioning, has resigned as general secretary of the Ram Mandir Trust but continues to occupy his post and carry out daily work inside the temple.
“जो चंपत राय सवालों के घेरे में हैं, पूछताछ का सामना कर रहे हैं, वो चंपत राय महासचिव के पद से इस्तीफा देने के बाद भी अपने पद अपनी कुर्सी पर क्यों बैठे हुए हैं? और बकायदा मंदिर के भीतर जाकर अपना रोज का कामकाज कर रहे हैं।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Central assertion — that Champat Rai, while under questioning, has resigned but still occupies his post — is accurate: his June 26 resignation was not yet effective as of the July 2 broadcast because trust rules require a two-thirds vote (scheduled for the July 6/11 meeting), so he remained general secretary and continued overseeing temple administration.
