Rae Bareli:
A senior IPS officer, who was a personal security officer
of BJP leader L K Advani in Ayodhya, today told a special court that
Faizabad Police had intelligence inputs that an attempt could be
made to harm the Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992.
During cross-examination by the defence in the court of Chief
Judicial Magistrate Gulab Singh here, Anju Gupta, a 1990 batch IPS
officer, said she had attended a review meeting convened by
Inspector General of Police, Faizabad, A K Saran on December 5, the
day before the structure was demolished.
To specific queries from the defence, Gupta said Saran had stated
during the 40-45 minute long meeting that according to the
intelligence inputs, the threats were at two levels.
The inputs had suggested that people who had gathered there could
attempt an attack on the disputed structure and that operatives of
Pakistan's ISI could also disturb the law and order situation in
Ayodhya, she said.
During her deposition before the court on March 26, Gupta had stated
that Advani had given a provocative speech in Ayodhya moments before
the mosque was demolished by Sangh Parivar activists.
"On December 6, 1992, Advani made a spirited speech from Ram Katha
Kunj manch (dais), barely 150-200 metres from the disputed site
which charged the people. He repeatedly said that the temple would
be constructed at the same site," Gupta had said.
Gupta, who was the personal security officer of Advani in Ayodhya on
the fateful day on December 6, is appearing as a prosecution witness
in the Special CBI Court in the case in which Advani and BJP leader
Murli Manohar Joshi, Uma Bharti and other Sangh Parivar leaders have
been accused of inciting violence that led to the demolition.
Now posted with the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) in Delhi, she
had said that Joshi, Bharti, another BJP leader Vinay Katiyar and
Sadhvi Rithambhara also made provocative speeches.
Advani, a former deputy prime minister, was discharged in the case
in 2002 after conspiracy charge was dropped. But, three years later
the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court reinstated the charges
of intentionally provoking people into rioting, arson and indulging
in rioting with intent to create disorder as well as creating
discord among communities.
Gupta, who was then posted as Assistant Superintendent of Police in
Faizabad, was on special duty entrusted with the security of Advani.
