On 17 May, an illegal structure was demolished in congruence of a Allahabad High Court ruling which stated that buildings in the state can be demolished, but state will try to go slow until 31 May. Also, order of Allahabad High Court dated 16.03.2021 stated that the illegal structure, which was alleged to be a Mosque, was situated on public land and the property was vested in State. After the order of the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court, the Mosque Management Committee was given 15 days time to prove their title, wherein the Mosque Management Committee failed. In response to that, the proceedings under S.133 CrPC were initiated by the Joint Magistrate after recommendation of the Local Police, which was under tremendous pressure being outnumbered of the illegal gathering of people of a particular faith who were adamant to save the illegal structure. Notice for the proceedings under S.133 CrPC were served to the Management Committee, the members of which, after getting hint of such proceedings, abandoned the site and left to the neighbouring State of Bihar. On investigation, the District Magistrate found that the illegal structure/ Mosque was registered on false pretext under Wakf Act without any adherence to statutory formalities. Nevertheless, to upraise the anti- national sentiment, it was described by The Guardian as "one of the most inflammatory actions taken against a Muslim place of worship since the demolition of the Babri Mosque by a mob of Hindu nationalist rioters in 1992". It has been confirmed that actions are being taken against The Guardian and The Wire for abatement and uprising anti-national sentiment and for the breach of public peace and safety under relevant laws. Additionally, when investigation was carried out by the Officers of the State of Uttar Pradresh including the then Joint Magistrate/ SDM and Tehsildar it was found that the electricity connection of illegal structure/ Mosque was illegally taken and FIR against the accused Management Committee was lodged under Electricity Act. To claim the title of land, Mosque Committee presented various documents of Waqf registration, which were later found to be forged and thus the demolition of the illegal structure was done as per law after affording reasonable opportunity to the affected parties.
