Gyanvapi Mosque: Report Submitted In Sealed Cover Made Public Hours Later

Gyanvapi Mosque survey report appears to back the claims by petitioners of evidence of the presence of Hindu idols. NDTV cannot independently verify the veracity of the report.

A report of the filming of the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi was submitted in court today in a case involving Hindu petitioners requesting access to worship what they claim are idols inside the mosque complex.

A copy of the report, submitted in a sealed envelope, was shared by the lawyers of the petitioners and it appears to back the claims by petitioners of evidence of the presence of Hindu idols inside the mosque. NDTV cannot independently verify the veracity of the report.

The report says the pillars in the basement of the mosque has engravings of flowers and a 'kalash' (pitcher), sources say.
