On Tuesday, on coming to know about the incident, scores of AIMIM party workers descended at the Haj House building and staged a protest. The police who were already deployed at the office forcefully lifted the protestors and shifted them to Abid Road police station.

Meanwhile, a team of TS Wakf Board officials visited the spot where the mosque was located on Tuesday and interacted with the local police officials and revenue officials.

TS Wakf Board chairman Mohd Saleem said that the land belongs to the Wakf board and some ‘unauthorized persons’ sold it to private people.
