Believed to be built by Bibi Akbarabadi, one of the wives of then Mughal Emperor
Shah Jahan, the mosque is considered the twin of Fatehpuri Masjid
in Chandni Chowk. It is associated with the freedom movement of
1857 during which it was destroyed by the British.
Construction work was in progress after the discovery and
thousands of Muslim had offered Friday prayers on July 20,
2012. The Delhi High Court however handed over it to
archaeologists very next day. |
