Protests broke out in the posh TDI society in Moradabad, allegedly over a house being sold to a Muslim doctor by a resident.

According to a PTI report, slogans were raised by the members of the housing society after they came to know that one Dr Ashok Bajaj had sold his house to Dr Ikra Chaudhary.

Residents mounted a demonstration at the colony gate holding banners ‘Dr Ashok Bajaj Apna Makan Wapas lo’ (take your house back).

Both, the buyer and the seller, were not available for comments.

‘It’s a Hindu society’

“This is a Hindu society, where over 400 Hindu families live. We don’t want anyone from the other communities to reside here,” a protester said to news agency PTI, adding that the house is near a temple.

TDI City Society chairman Amit Verma also joined the protesters.

One of the residents feared the ownership may change the nature of the colony.
