The incident occurred as authorities began removing a portion of the Shahi Masjid to widen a road ahead of the Simhastha Kumbh in 2028. Protesters opposed the move, and police deployed tear gas to disperse the crowd. More than 2,000 police personnel were reportedly deployed, with movement restricted around the site. The road project aims to improve traffic management during the religious gathering. The mosque committee has challenged the proposed removal in court, and an appeal was scheduled for a hearing on Monday. (PC: India Today)
