Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.LUCKNOW, India -- An Indian court on Wednesday acquitted all 32 people who had been accused of crimes in a 1992 attack and demolition of a 16th century mosque that sparked Hindu-Muslim violence leaving some 2,000 people dead.
Last year, India’s Supreme Court ruled in favor of building of a Hindu temple on the disputed site. Hindus believe their god Ram was born there and claim Muslim Emperor Babur built a mosque on top of a temple at the site. The New Delhi Television news channel cited the court order as saying the BJP leaders tried to stop activists who were trying to demolish the structure.
The Muslim community will challenge the acquittals in an appeals court. “This is an erroneous judgement as it is against evidence and against law," said Jaffaryab Jilani, representing the All India Muslim Law Board.
