There was an altercation between two groups on Sunday here on the mosque premises about women offering prayers in the mosque. Two persons, who were injured in the melee, were admitted to hospital. Later, two men have lodged complaints against each other with the Hassan Extension Police Station.
A group of men approached the managing committee of the mosque and demanded that women should not be allowed to offer prayers inside the mosque. However, members of the managing committee did not heed to the demand and left the place.
According to a police complaint filed by Mohammed Akmal, who runs an electric shop, the group entered into an argument with him and assaulted him without any provocation. “I have filed a complaint against Mohammed Aslam and his three sons”, he said.
However, Aslam also filed a complaint against Mohammed Akmal and others making similar allegations.
“We have registered both the cases. So far no arrests have been made. We have tightened security around the mosque”, said Vijaya Krishna, PSI of the Extension Police station.
