Graves vandalised at Mohammadia Masjid graveyard in LB Nagar
HYDERABAD: Unknown individuals used heavy machinery to damage several graves at the Mohammadia Masjid graveyard in Rock Town Colony, L B Nagar. This act of vandalism has caused public outrage within the LB Nagar police station area of the Rachakonda commissionerate and prompted calls for immediate local action.
Amjed Ullah Khan, Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) spokesman, reported the vandalism. He visited the graveyard, located opposite Rajiv Nagar and behind the L B Nagar Deputy Commissioner of Police’s office, after hearing about the damage.
Khan said land grabbers used a bulldozer to desecrate several graves in the burial ground. He expressed shock that this happened near the office of a senior police officer.
MBT alleges police negligence
“It is very strange that the incident happened behind the DCP L B Nagar office. The land grabbers used a dozer to damage the graves. The L B Nagar police kept sleeping,” Khan said, alleging police negligence.
After seeing the damage, Khan contacted Syed Azmathullah Hussaini, Chairman of the Telangana State Waqf Board. The chairman assured that officials would inspect the graveyard to assess the damage. He also said a written complaint would be filed at the B Nagar Police Station.
Khan demands that all damaged graves be restored immediately. He also urges that the graveyard gate be promptly repaired to secure the premises and prevent future incidents.
