Which one of the following was probed by the Liberhan Commission?
Explanation
The Liberhan Commission was a one‑man inquiry headed by Justice M. S. Liberhan, appointed ten days after the Babri Masjid demolition to investigate the sequence of events that led to the destruction of the Ram Janmabhoomi–Babri Masjid complex on 6 December 1992. The commission’s mandate explicitly covered the circumstances and factual matrix surrounding the demolition and it submitted its report in June 2009 after a prolonged enquiry [1]. Contemporary official summaries and media reports likewise state that the Liberhan Commission probed the events leading to the 1992 demolition at Ayodhya, confirming that the inquiry concerned the destruction of the disputed structure [2].
