The widow of a Kar Sewak who died in police firing on November 2, 1990, filed a petition in a Faizabad court seeking prosecution of Samajwadi Party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav. At the time of the incident, Mulayam was the Chief Minister when thousands of Kar Sewaks stormed the disputed site at Ayodhya attempting to demolish it.
In a petition, Gayatri Devi, the widow of Ramesh Kumar Pandey, alleged that she lost her husband in the police firing, but she was not aware of who ordered the firing.
After allowing the petition, Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ravindra Dubey posted the matter for hearing on December 5.
