Hindus foil the plan of fanatic Muslims to grab Baba Navnath’s Samadhi

Burhanpur (MP) incident

Burhanpur (MP) – Violence between Hindus and Muslims erupted over Baba Navnath samadhi in a village of the district. There was firing and stone pelting. The Police acted in time and controlled the situation. The reason for the row was the ploy by Muslims to grab the samadhi; which was foiled by Hindus.

Hindus claim it to be Baba Navnath samadhi and the Muslim claim that it is a dargah. When the Hindus painted the samadhi premises with saffron colour, the Muslims approached the Police and lodged a complaint. The Police and the administration reached the site, and they organised a meeting. At that time the argument took a serious turn and violence broke out. The Police tried to stop it but could not succeed initially. When both the parties resorted to stone pelting, additional police force was called, and then the situation came under control. 4 people got injured in the clashes. They are undergoing treatment in the hospital. Currently there is tension in the village and police force has been deployed.
