Claim

In his answers to police, Champat Rai said donation information was shared at trust meetings but not the details of every transaction.

“चंपत जी ने कहा ट्रस्ट की बैठकों में दान की जानकारी दी जाती थी लेकिन हर लेनदेन की डिटेल नहीं होती थी।”

Rationale

The claim's specific assertion — that Rai told police donation information was shared at trust meetings but not the details of every transaction — could not be located in available sources. Reported statements are broadly consistent in theme (he distanced himself from transaction-level detail and referred investigators elsewhere) but do not confirm this exact wording, so it cannot be verified as stated.
