The complaint was registered by the Eidgah committee president Rehmat Ullah who also identified three of the miscreants. This is not the first time the Eidgah was attacked. Earlier too, miscreants tried to break the boundary wall but no police action was taken, reported Siasat.

Last year as well Eid prayers were disrupted in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur where stones were pelted and bikes were set on fire injuring 16, including 4 policemen. The dispute was over replacing a Hindu flag with a Muslim flag at the statue of a freedom fighter. Since, in the area, Muslims occasionally offered namaaz during Eid and raised Muslim flags, there was a dispute over removing the flags of Lord Parashuram. Notably, celebrations of Eid clashes with Lord Parshuram Jayanti.
