Special Court acquits all 32 accused in Babri Masjid demolition case; sweets distributed at Joshi’s house

A special CBI court today acquitted all 32 accused, including BJP veterans LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharti, of criminal conspiracy charges almost 28 years after the Babri Masjid was demolished in Ayodhya.

Special CBI Court judge Surendra Kumar Yadav, in his 2,000-page judgment, said that he found that evidences against the accused were not strong enough and that the Babri Mosque demolition incident was not preplanned.

Ayodhya’s Babri Masjid was demolished by kar sevaks on December 6, 1992.
