A Special CBI court in Lucknow today framed charges against former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Kalyan Singh in the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition case

The court granted him bail on a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh.

Kalyan Singh, who was earlier exempted from facing trial in the case due to the Constitutional immunity he enjoyed as the Governor of Rajasthan, was summoned by the court after his tenure expired recently.

He faces trial under various clauses of the Indian Penal Code.

He would now have to face day-to-day trial in the case though he would not be required to personally appear in court.
