Allahabad HC ordered the Mathura administration to modify revenue records to reflect the plot of land in the name of the Banke Bihari temple that had been incorrectly labelled as a Qabristan, or Muslim graveyard
The counsel for the state government drew the attention of the court that one application is also pending since the entries in the revenue records have now been altered from Qabristan to 'purani abadi'(old settlement).
In Kanpur's Bashirganj, Muslims have reportedly occupied a piece of land and have erected a wall. The plot belongs to Swami Shri Shiv Narayan Ji Sant Samaj Gurdwara Seva Samiti.
A local Hindu organization Pandavwada Sangharsh Samiti complained that the structure located in Erandol region in Jalgaon district resembles a old temple and that the Jumma Masjid Trust Committee have encroached over the temple land.
The visuals of the incident emerged online wherein it is seen that the large mob hurls stones at the police while officers try to bring the situation under control by using tear gas shells. An additional police force was deployed and a lathi charge was done to control the violent mob.
"These authorities just acknowledge the letter and take no action. It has been 10 years and the illegal structure still stands there even after the Bombay High Court had directed action against the property", Hindu activists have stated.
