Pics of Taj Mahal's locked rooms released by ASI amid 'Hindu idols inside' claim

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has released photographs of two spots where maintenance work was undertaken recently in closed underground cells on the riverside of the Taj Mahal in Agra. The photos have been released amid a controversy over rooms below the Taj Mahal. A petition was filed on May 4, 2022 by Rajneesh Singh, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) media in-charge of Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya district, in the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court which however was junked. The petitioner had sought directives to the state government to constitute a committee to examine the 20 rooms inside the 17th century monument and look for any evidence related to the presence of Hindu idols or scriptures there.
