The Mattannur police have registered a case against three persons, including the secretary of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), in connection with the alleged irregularities in the renovation of the Mattannur Muslim Jamaat Mosque.
The police registered the case against IUML State secretary Abdur Rahman Kallai, party worker U. Maharoof, and Congress activist M.C. Kunhahammed based on a complaint by Neduvottumkunnu mosque committee member M.P Shamir.
The complainant alleged that from 2011 to August 27, 2022, the accused had spent ₹9.78 crore for the renovation of the mosque without obtaining permission from the Waqf Board and allegedly used the money for their own personal purposes by producing fake bills. According to the complainant, they cheated the mosque administration by forging fake documents.
