Despite the passage of a year since the incidents of vandalism at the Mohan Garden cemetery in South-West Delhi, the police are yet to register an FIR. Even today, miscreants continue to damage graves, disrupting communal harmony. In response, officials of the Muslim Cultural Society Uttam Nagar and local residents staged a peaceful protest after Friday prayers on Feb. 21, demanding immediate action.
In a statement, the Muslim Cultural Society said, “It is worth noting that on January 31, 2024, at 11 AM, Mohammad Haroon, President of Muslim Cultural Society and some officials were heading to Mohan Garden police station to file a complaint regarding the destruction of graves by anti-social elements. Upon arriving at the cemetery, they witnessed severe vandalism – numerous old, permanent graves, including those of their former members, had been ruthlessly destroyed. They immediately informed the police by calling PCR (Police Control Room) and submitting a written complaint. However, even after a year, the police have taken no action, and the real culprits continue to roam freely.”
Speaking at the protest, society officials announced that the Society’s representatives would soon meet Delhi’s Lt. Governor, Chief Minister, and other senior officials to seek a permanent resolution so that an FIR is registered against those responsible for vandalising the cemetery.
