💨 Abstract

An RTI activist in Aligarh has filed a petition in a Civil Court, claiming that the Jama Masjid was built on a site where Buddhist, Jain, and Hindu temples once stood. The activist, Pandit Keshav Dev Gautam, has filed queries with various government departments, including the Aligarh Municipal Corporation. One RTI reply suggests the mosque was constructed on public land without government approval.
