A 55-year-old Muslim man, who died of a cardiac arrest was provided with a final resting place in a Hindu cemetery near Hyderabad after caretakers of at least six graveyards denied burial fearing that he might have died of COVID-19 infection. The harrowing ordeal of the deceased man’s family came to an end when two local Hindu men arranged burial space for the man in a Hindu cemetery. On Wednesday, in a memorandum submitted to Telangana State Waqf Board, Tahreek Muslim president Mustaq Malik sought immediate removal of the caretakers of six graveyards who refused Miyan's burial. He said that legal action should be taken against the “irresponsible” caretakers of the six Muslim graveyards. TSWB chairman Mohammed said that similar instances have come to their notice in recent times. They will investigate the matter and take appropriate action.
