Belagavi: Massive protests held condemning alleged burning of Quran
Belagavi: Members of the Muslim community gathered in large numbers at Chennamma Circle here on Friday, May 16, to protest condemning the alleged burning of a copy of the Quran in Santi Bastwad village in the district.
The protestors expressed displeasure over the police department's delay in apprehending the accused who burnt religious books despite four days since the incident was reported.
The protesters condemned the incident by wearing black armbands.
The incident came to light on May 12, when miscreants allegedly stole and set fire to several copies of the Islamic holy book, the Quran, from a mosque currently under construction in the area.
According to sources, the Qurans were stored on the ground floor of the under-construction mosque. During the morning prayers on Monday, people discovered that the books were missing. A search later led to the discovery of their burnt remains in a nearby field adjacent to the mosque premises.
