A police case has been registered against 9 people. Four are arrested by police in this case. If appropriate action will not be taken in the case, Muslim organizations have threatened protest.
Police stated that the mob broke the lock of the madrasa and entered it. Before performing puja they shouted โJai Shri Ramโ and โHindu Dharam Jaiโ slogans, standing on the steps of the madrassa. Videos showing a huge crowd on the steps, trying to get inside have gone viral on Social Media.
As per the complaint filed by Mohammed Shafiuddin, a mosque committee member, the incident took place when a procession was passing near the place in the early hours of Thursday. It was also alleged that the mob had โintentions to disturb peace, harmony and create violenceโ in this district headquarters town.
A mob of around 60 people barged into the archaeologically-significant monument by breaking the lock of the gate. โGulalโ was also thrown inside the premises, it was alleged.
When security personnel deployed there raised his voice to stop them he was threatened by the mob.
Several Muslim Organisations have objected and are protesting against this act.

Owaisi accused BJP of promoting such incidents to โdemean Muslims.โ He tweeted, โVisuals from historic Mahmud Gawan masjid & madrasa, Bidar, #Karnataka (5th October). Extremists broke the gate lock & attempted to desecrate. @bidar_police @BSBommai how can you allow this to happen? BJP is promoting such activity only to demean Muslims.

The BJP has been criticized for using some of the states as a testing ground for intercommunal experiments. When Hindu organizations insisted on barring Muslim vendors from temple fairs, the claims flared up following the controversy surrounding the hijab ban in educational institutions.
In August, Ganesh Chaturthi was celebrated at Hubballiโs Idgah ground.
