Disturbance by Miscreants Holding Saffron Flags
According to eyewitnesses, around 10 to 15 individuals, carrying saffron flags, reached the mosque premises at approximately 9:20 PM.
They reportedly circled the area on their bikes while shouting anti-Muslim slogans and attempting to provoke the residents. The disruption lasted for nearly two and a half hours, causing distress among worshippers and local community members.
Police Response and Local Leaders’ Reactions
Local residents attempted to file a complaint at the Nacharam Police Station immediately after the incident. However, when two youths reached the police station to report the incident, they were allegedly turned away by Station House Officer (SHO) Rudveer Kumar, who advised them to return in the morning to register their complaint. This delay in taking action raised concerns among the local community and political leaders.
Under pressure from Congress leaders, police eventually dispatched two patrol vehicles to the location. However, no arrests were made despite the clear threat to communal harmony. Security measures were later heightened with police pickets deployed in the area.
Political Leaders Demand Immediate Action
Pradesh Congress Committee Secretary Khwaja Ghyasuddin strongly condemned the incident and urged immediate action against the perpetrators. According to him, the miscreants were armed with dangerous weapons and not only created disturbance in front of the mosque but also intimidated residents outside their homes.
Senior Congress leader Usman Bin Mohammed Al Hajiri also condemned the incident, announcing his intention to approach senior police officials. He emphasized the importance of leveraging CCTV footage to identify the culprits and demanded their immediate arrest. Furthermore, he insisted on disciplinary action against the police officers who failed to act promptly.
