Mangaluru: Police visit Masjidul Huda in Ullal following complaint about loudspeakers
Ullal: Police visited Masjidul Huda in Someshwara Peribailu on Monday night following a complaint about the use of loudspeakers at night. The mosque’s management committee expressed strong displeasure over the action, asserting that their usage complies with regulations.
The incident unfolded after a call to police helpline Hoysala 112 alleged that the mosque was using loudspeakers loudly at night, disturbing nearby residents, including students. Acting on the complaint, Ullal police visited the mosque twice and advised the management committee to limit the volume of loudspeakers.
In response, the mosque committee clarified that loudspeakers are only used for the Sunday night Salaat Majlis program, which ends by 10 pm. They reiterated their adherence to the Supreme Court's guidelines on loudspeaker usage.
Masjidul Huda General Secretary Ahmed Bava stated, "There is no DJ in our mosque, as alleged in the complaint. We use loudspeakers only for prayers and programs, and everything concludes by 10 pm. Despite this, police visits have occurred twice based on baseless complaints."
The mosque management has lodged a grievance with Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Anupam Agrawal, citing misuse of the 112 helpline by individuals targeting their activities.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) of Mangaluru South Sub-Division clarified that the police visit was routine and aimed at addressing the complaint, not to create any disturbance. "The complaint involved concerns about students being disturbed by the loudspeaker use at night. We inquired at the mosque to ensure compliance with regulations," the ACP stated.
