Uttar Pradesh: Graves desecrated , folk deity’s idol damaged in Hathras

Communal tension ran high in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras district after three Muslim graves were desecrated by unidentified miscreants and an idol of a folk deity was allegedly vandalised in two separate incidents on Friday.

The incidents come just days after firebrand Hindu-monk turned-politician Yogi Adityanath became chief minister of the state that has a history of communal violence.

After Friday’s prayers, members of the Muslim community took out a march to protest the sacrilege of the graves at the district’s Sikandrarao area.

They also submitted a memorandum, addressed to governor Ram Naik, to the sub-divisional magistrate.

Another group gheraoed the kotwali police station and demanded immediate action against the culprits. Circle officer RK Vashisht pacified the agitated crowd.
