Joshi and Ram Janambhoomi Trust chairman Nritya Gopal Das will depose before a special CBI court in Lucknow, through video-conferencing from Tuesday in the Babri Masjid demolition case of 1992.
The special CBI court, on Saturday, sent a directive to the director of National Informatics Centre (NIC), a government of India body, to make arrangements for video-conferencing from addresses furnished by these accused, to record their statements under Section 313 of CrPC.
