Following a court nod for videography inside the Gyanvapi mosque, around 50% of the court-mandated video inspection of the mosque premises was completed peacefully on the first day of the proceedings on Saturday.
The court commission team inspected four rooms in the basement of the mosque and had to break the lock of one of the rooms as it had rusted, said Sayin Yasin, joint secretary of the Anjuman Intezamia Masajid, the caretaker of the masjid.
“One lock was rusted because it had not been opened for long. It had to be broken. We broke it willingly. And replaced it,” Mr. Yasin told The Hindu.
