Dehradun (Uttarakhand) – The mazar built on Government land in Haridwar’s Bahadarbad City was bulldozed and demolished by the Administration. On hearing about it, the religious fanatic Muslims rushed to the place and demanded an explanation from the administrative officers. It was then that Police had to lathicharge to bring the situation under control.
The religious fanatics built the illegal mazar on the Government Land adjacent to the Sanskrit University in Bahadarabad City. They named the mazar ‘Sayyad Baba Roshan Ali Shah Mazar’. The local residents informed that this mazar was to be converted into Masjid.
