Lucknow, 30 September, 2020, (TON):  The Indian CBI court in Lucknow, has ruled that the decision of  Babri Masjid demolition was not preplanned and the  evidence were insufficient. The verdict said, the people who carried the riots were anti-nationals elements. He acquitted all the accused.

Special judge Surendra Kumar Yadav  in his verdict wrote, "The accused tried to stop the demolition." He highlighted, “The Hindu activists who tore down the 16th-century mosque were "anti-social elements".A special court in Lucknow delivered the much-awaited judgment on Wednesday in the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition case.  All the 32 accused, including BJP veterans L.K. Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, have been acquitted.

CBI judge S.K. Yadav had on September 16 directed all the 32 surviving accused to remain present in the court on the day of the judgment. However, L.K. Advani, M.M. Joshi, Uma Bharti and Kalyan Singh are unlikely to be present in the trial court. The case relates to the razing of the disputed structure in Ayodhya on December 6, 1992.
