The incident unfolded in the Madhai region of the Ranjhi area of Jabalpur. The Hindu rights organisations alleged that the mosque question was built over land allotted for a Hindu temple. Amidst the protests by VHP and Bajrang Dal, the road connecting the mosque was closed and the area surrounding was cordoned off by the police.
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) drive to demolish the alleged illegal section of a mosque in Dharavi, which is considered Asia's largest slum, has been cancelled after huge numbers of locals gathered on the streets.
"These authorities just acknowledge the letter and take no action. It has been 10 years and the illegal structure still stands there even after the Bombay High Court had directed action against the property", Hindu activists have stated.
