The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority had reportedly demolished the outer wall of the deserted Qutub Shahi Masjid near High Tech city to construct a new road.
The family members revealed that said Khaja Miyan was refused burial by mutawallis (caretakers of graveyards) in six graveyards, who first said that the deceased was a non-local and then claimed that Khaja may have died from coronavirus.
In March, the Delhi Waqf Board had declared that it will make the 'Jadeed Qurustan' near Millennium Park a dedicated burial ground for Muslim coronavirus patients. However, the VHP has alleged that the area they had demarcated for the graveyard belongs to the park and not the Waqf Board.
