Qutb Shahi Graves Demolished In Hyderabad
- School management accused of damaging Muslim graves at Nagole
- AIMIM MLC Mirza Rahmath Baig seeks action over 400 year old site
Mild tension prevailed in Hyderabad after local residents alleged that a school management bulldozed Muslim graves near Nagole. The incident came to light on Thursday when people visited the graveyard located beside a school and found several graves damaged. Residents said a bulldozer was used inside the burial ground, which sparked anger in the neighbourhood. They then alerted the police and sought immediate intervention.
According to the complaint, the incident occurred at Tatti Annaram, near the Bandlaguda bus stop in Abdullapurmet. Residents gathered at the spot and questioned how machinery entered the graveyard without approval. They stated that the burial ground was an active site that held historical and religious value for the local community. The sudden damage created unrest, and people demanded quick action from authorities to prevent further disturbance.
AIMIM MLC Mirza Rahmath Baig visited the location along with local residents. He met Nagole police station SHO Maqbool Jani and lodged a formal complaint. He stated that the management of the school was responsible for the damage and demanded legal action. He further urged police to book a case and arrest those involved in demolishing the graves. The MLC said the issue needed urgent attention because the site was centuries old and carried significant heritage importance.
Residents also pointed out that the graveyard dates back to the Qutb Shahi era and is nearly 400 years old. They added that a dargah of Hazrat Muttu Shah Baba stands within the same compound, making the site important for devotees. People expressed concern that any destruction of such a heritage site could lead to further disputes if not handled carefully. They asked the authorities to secure the graveyard and prevent future encroachment until the investigation is completed.
The police received the complaint and began preliminary checks based on the information shared by the community and the MLC. Further action is expected after the assessment of the damaged graves and statements from those involved. Residents said they would continue to follow up until the heritage site is protected and accountability is established.
