Babri case Officer to testify against Advani

Anju Gupta, a police officer who had told investigators that senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, including LK Advani, were euphoric after the 1992 Babri Masjid razing, will depose on Friday before a special court hearing the 18-year-old demolition case.

Gupta, a Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), is currently attached to the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) of the Cabinet Secretariat. Her deposition before the Rae Bareli-based special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court on Friday will be recorded.

Gupta was posted as assistant superintendent of police (ASP) at the time of the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. She had first shot to fame when she said in a statement before CBI investigators that top BJP leaders Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharti were euphoric after the demolition.

The special court is holding trial of Advani and eight others in the case.
