India's Supreme Court to hear Ayodhya dispute

After 7 years, the hearing in the Ayodhya land dispute case has finally begun in India's Supreme Court. The site is claimed by both Hindu and Muslim groups. 

Hindus claim that the Mughals built the Barbi Mosque in the 16th century on the disputed land after demolishing a temple. Muslims claim they have been praying at the site for centuries.

The Babri mosque was torn down by a Hindu mob in 1992 leading to religious riots across India where 2000 people died.

Our India correspondent Neha Poonia reports.
