A week ago, a conspiracy to take control of this land by Muslims was exposed. After that, Mahipal, who lives in the village, and some villagers went to a nearby hill. They saw a tomb there, which was recently built with the intention of grabbing that land. This tomb is built on a religious square already built by Hindus.

When Hindus opposed the encroachment through the tomb and ponds, Muslims gathered there and pelted stones at Hindus. Some people were also beaten up. Some of them fled from there; however, they filmed the incident and went to the Police station and filed a complaint.
