The shrine&#8217;s caretaker, Ghasite Ram, originally from Uttar Pradesh&#8217;s Barabanki district, filed a complaint regarding the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ram reported that upon his departure for his residence in Feroze Gandhi Colony around 8:30 pm on Sunday, the shrine appeared to be in its usual state. However, around 1:30 am, he received a distressing call from a nearby resident, informing him that the shrine had been deliberately set ablaze by unknown culprits. Responding swiftly, Ram rushed to the Sector 37 police station to officially report the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the assistance of local residents, they managed to control the fire. Nevertheless, upon inspecting the shrine, Ram discovered that the offerings within had been completely consumed by the flames. In his complaint, he revealed that a group of five or six young boys had gathered at the shrine and intentionally ignited the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A mazar at Khandsa village in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Gurugram?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Gurugram<\/a> was set on fire by a group of 5-6 young boys in the early hours of Monday<br><br>FIR registered at the Sector 37 police station<br><br>Caretaker says, offerings kept inside the Mazar were burnt down<br><br>When will this targeted voilence against muslims end\u2026<\/p>&mdash; Kashish Singh (@Kashish__singh_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Kashish__singh_\/status\/1688520154085466113?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 7, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ram, who has dutifully served at the shrine for approximately seven years, emphasized that people from various religious backgrounds have expressed their reverence at the shrine in the past. He expressed concern that the incident could inflame sentiments and potentially lead to societal unrest. He advocated for appropriate action to be taken against the culprits. Addressing the media on Monday morning, Ram described the shrine as a decades-old establishment dedicated to a revered peer baba, where villagers of all walks of life come to offer their prayers. He speculated that outsiders might be responsible for the arson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/Vrin_Vandy\/status\/1688493724589047808\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This incident occurred while Section 144 remained in effect in Gurugram due to communal clashes that transpired in neighboring areas the previous week. The district administration lifted Section 144 on Monday. An FIR has been filed against unidentified individuals for the shrine&#8217;s arson, citing violations of sections 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention), 153A (promoting enmity between different groups), 188 (disobedience of an order duly promulgated by a public servant), and 436 (mischief by fire or explosive substance with intent to destroy the house).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ram reported that upon his departure for his residence in Feroze Gandhi Colony around 8:30 pm on Sunday, the shrine appeared to be in its usual state.
