Former Union minister Uma Bharti, former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh, and right-wing leaders such as Vinay Katiyar and Sadhvi Rithambara, were also among the accused in the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition case.

while redeeming the verdict, judge SK Yadav of the special central bureau of investigation court said that since there was no proof to validate that the omissible was pre-planned, there was no case against the 32 defendants. “the CBI could not prove its case subsequent to reasonable doubt,” the court said in its judgement.
