Replace biased official, say Gyanvapi mosque caretakers

The caretakers of the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi on Saturday submitted an application in a local court demanding that the court-appointed advocate commissioner asked to videograph a ‘Hindu site’ located behind the western wall of the mosque be replaced as he was acting in a “biased” manner.

Since the mosque committee objected to the inspection of the area inside the barricade of the mosque, the inspection process was halted on the second day, lawyers of the Hindu plaintiffs said.

This came a day after a team of lawyers and opposing legal parties led by court-appointed advocate commissioner Ajay Kumar Mishra initiated a videographic inspection of the Maa Shringar Gauri site located at the back of the western wall of the Gyanvapi mosque in the Gyanvapi Masjid-Kashi Vishwanath temple complex.
