The accused has been identified as Shareef, who is also a Dargah devotee, but not associated with any group. It is learnt that he destroyed the headstones placed over the graves of Late UT Fareed and Naseema Fareed, the parents of local Mr Khader, after juma Namaz.

Police sources said that Shareef himself surrendered to the police and confessed to the crime hours after desecrating the graves. Sources said that he was let off by police with a warning as Mr Khader's family did not file any complaint.

The desecration took place a day after two groups of people clashed on the Dargah premises over the appointment to the post of president of managing committee of mosque and Dargah.

A new committee was constituted duly electing Haji Abdul Rashid as president of the dargah committee on Tuesday. However, the name of Bukhari was announced by another group for the post the same evening, leading to a tiff within the community.

The matter got settled with police intervention giving recognition to the duly elected committee. Again the issue erupted on Thursday evening with supporters of both groups engaging in clashes.

Meanwhile, the newly elected president has condemned the desecration of the graves of the parents of Mr Khader. He said that Late UT Fareed, had greatly contributed towards the development of Dargah during his tenure as the MLA.

JDS MLC B M Farookh unhappy over govt's restrictions on Muslims during Ramadan

News Network

April 19,2020

Bengaluru, Apr 19: A recent government order prohibiting congregations, Ramadan prayers is discriminatory and needs to be withdrawn, JD(S) MLC B M Farookh has demanded.

In a letter to the chief secretary, Farookh pointed out that the order contained certain conditions such as restriction of the use of public address system and delivering Azan in low decibels, which had nothing to do with the prevention of Covid-19 disease.

“These days, Azan includes a call for the community to pray at home and does not offer namaz at mosque. The order also prohibits preparation and distribution of porridge, which has always been taken up in the interest of the poor. The High Court has noted that the relief distribution by NGOs or individuals should not be prevented and the state machinery has to coordinate the same by ensuring social distancing. The ban on distribution of porridge by mosques amounts to discrimination. The order needs to be withdrawn or revisited,” he wrote in his letter.

Further, observing that a religious fair was conducted in Kalaburagi recently, in violation of the government’s social distancing norms, Farookh sought the government to ensure that social distancing norms are enforced with regard to festivals of all communities without discrimination.
