On September 12, 2022, the Varanasi district court allowed the petition seeking daily worship of Hindu deities whose idols are located on an outer wall of the Gyanvapi Masjid. The district court in Varanasi dismissed the mosque committee’s objections regarding the maintainability of a suit. Their petition will be heard from September 22 onwards.
In the wake of the above verdict, a video showing people dancing on the street is being circulated on social media claiming that people are celebrating the verdict.
