Muslims demolish part of historic mosque in India
Indian authorities successfully carried out a partial demolition of the historic "Shahi" mosque in Ogin, which dates back approximately 600 years, amid violent protests by the Muslim community that attempted to prevent the demolition by manually removing part of the structure themselves. The Supreme Court of Madhya Pradesh approved the removal of the threatened section of the mosque to widen a local road in preparation for the upcoming "Shimasta Kumb Mārasha" Hindu religious festival scheduled for 2028. Despite Muslims' attempts to challenge the demolition order and propose alternative solutions, tensions escalated, with police using tear gas to disperse protesters trying to safeguard the mosque.Officials indicated that these measures are part of a road expansion project related to the festival, justifying the action by stating there was no other option.
