A special court today(30th Sept.2020) acquitted all 32 accused, including former deputy prime minister Lal Krishna Advani, in the demolition of the Babri mosque in Ayodhya on December 6, 1992. "The accused tried to stop the demolition," said special CBI judge Surendra Kumar Yadav in Lucknow. The court said the demolition was not planned and some members of the crowds impulsively attacked the structure. “The court has said that there is no legal evidence to prove the charges. The court also did not find any evidence of a conspiracy,” I B Singh, a lawyer for one of the accused, told. The judge also said the Hindu activists who tore down the 16th-century mosque were "anti-social elements", according to NDTV.com.
Judge Yadav said the prosecution could not produce enough evidence against the accused. The Central Bureau of Investigation could not prove the authenticity of audio and video clips and the audio of the speeches were not clear, according to news agency IANS.
BJP leaders Advani, 92, Murli Manohar Joshi, 87, and Uma Bharti, 61, were not present in court and watched via video link when the verdict was announced. They had all been accused of criminal conspiracy, promoting enmity and inciting activists with incendiary speeches from a dais next to the site.
