Uttar Pradesh: Madrasa razed in Amroha after complaints from 'non-Muslims'

BIJNOR: The Uttar Pradesh administration on Saturday demolished a madrasa in Jebra village in Amroha after complaints from "non-Muslims" in the village that "namaz was being read over a loudspeaker". The local administration also said that the madrasa was "illegally built on government land seven months ago".

The manager of the madrasa, Ishtiyak Ahmed, refuted this charge of the administration and said the structure was built on the land of his grandfather who received it from the gram sabha in 1961. He said he had all the documents as proof.
