Maulana Wasim Mobalik, alias Pathan had gone missing after a Muslim mob went on a rampage, pelting at the old Hubli police station, a nearby temple, and a hospital in Hubballi, Karnataka on April 16
The Supreme Court bench led by Chief Justice NV Ramana ordered the authorities to maintain the status-quo on the demolition drive and not to continue with the demolition started by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation against encroachers in Jahangirpuri.
Just before the anti-encroachment drive began, the Delhi police and hundreds of security personnel in riot gear had conducted a surveillance of the area earlier in the morning.
Maulana Wasim Mobalik, alias Pathan was seen standing atop the Hubballi police commissioner's car outside Old Hubballi police station, making provocative speeches.
5 members of the same Hindu family, including a juvenile, were detained following the rioting in Delhi's Jahangirpuri where a Muslim mob attacked a Hindu procession.
