It seems that the controversy over offering Namaz has made Gurugram its permanent abode. Even though the earlier waves of protests against Friday prayers of Muslims have hardly been subsided, a severe attack in one of the Mosques in the city’s Bhora Kalan area has agsin shocked the people.
A mob of at least 200 people reportedly yesterday entered the premises of a mosque in the area, vandalised the premises, had beaten up the people and threatened to kill them, India Today reported. After storming over it, the mob ran away locking the door from outside.
Subedar Nazar Mohammad, who later lodged a complaint in the Bilaspur Police station said that there are only four Muslim families living in Bhora Kalan locality. During Maghrib (the evening prayer) when they were offering Namaz, the attackers barged into the premises and ravaged it. The miscreants not only hit them, rather they asked them to leave the area as soon as possible.
The Police has filed a case under IPC sections 295-A (deliberately outraging religious beliefs), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 506 (criminal intimidation), 147 (rioting), 148 (rioting by carrying weapons). They have identified Rajesh Chauhan, Anil Bhadauria, and Sanjay Vyas as the main accused.
