A disturbing video that has been circulating on social media shows several young men using hammers to demolish a religious tomb (mazar) in the Bihari Nagar area of Ghaziabad. The incident took place near the Nawayug Market, and upon the video's release, local authorities were compelled to file an FIR due to the public outcry. The individuals in the video identify themselves as members of a Hindu organization, raising concerns about communal tensions in the region. The video captures the moment when the structure is brought down, followed by the apparent removal of debris by the perpetrators themselves.

According to reports, the individuals involved justified their actions by claiming that the tomb was situated inconveniently on the road, causing disruptions to traffic. This rationale prompted some locals to object and ultimately led to the demolition of the structure. Eyewitness accounts and the footage reveal a systematic approach to the destruction, with the group appearing determined to dismantle the tomb and clear away evidence of their actions. The context of this incident raises significant questions about the intercommunity relations in Ghaziabad, an area already facing scrutiny for its communal harmony.

Police officials stated that this incident occurred approximately ten days prior, indicating a delay in the community’s response and the subsequent actions by law enforcement. The implications of such actions can escalate communal tensions and affect neighborhood stability, making it crucial for authorities to monitor the situation closely and engage with community leaders to address underlying issues. A prompt investigation and clear communication from the authorities will be essential in preventing further incidents and restoring trust among diverse community members.
