Delhi Legislative Assembly officials discovered a tunnel-like structure reportedly between the Vidhan Sabha and Red Fort.
Delhi Legislative Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel, while speaking to news agency ANI, confirmed that the tunnel connects the Legislative Assembly to Red Fort.
Goel further explained that the Delhi Assembly, which was used as the Central Legislative Assembly after India's capital was shifted from Kolkata to Delhi in 1912, was converted into a court in 1926.
He added that the British used the tunnel to move freedom fighters to the court.
