Almost 3 decades have passed, after the 16th century’s structure of the monument was wrecked by a mob in Ayodhya a town of U.P on 6th December 1992. The prime accused of the case are leaders from BJP including L.K. Advani, Uma Bharti, Murli Manohar Joshi and former CM of UP Kalyan Singh. All of these leaders are expected to attend the court proceedings via video conference because of the spread of Coronavirus pandemic.
The renowned CBI judge SK Yadav has arrived to the court and he had directed all the 32 accused in the demolition case including Lallu Singh, Vednati, Vinay Katiyar, Pawan Pandey and Dharamdas to be present in the court for hearing.
