Suddenly, t𝓀he wom༒an's husband, Mohsin Sheikh, is seen talking to another resident, who says, “don’t abuse”, as Mohsin’s wife steps in to stop her husband.
“Who are you to stop my car? Are yo🍌u the local administration? 🐲Are you the police? How can you stop my car?” Mohsin asks, as residents stop them from entering society.
All about the dispute
On Wednesday, the pro𓄧tests erupted inside the housing society in the Mira Road suburb near Mumbai when Mohsin Sheikh brꩵought home two goats ahead of Bakrid
The CCTV footage footaged showed Sheikh getting out🍎 of a lift, accompanied by his wife and the💎ir son. He is then seen moving the goats into his home.
According to Sheikh, nearly 250 Muslim families live in the residential complex and also info꧅rmed that a designated place wꦉas alloted by the builder for keeping the goats every year.
However, this year the things went differently and the builder refused to do t🐈he same, asking the families to speak to the society meꦿmbers instead, Sheikh claimed.
He further alleged that society denied them permission, which led him to take the animals home. Sheikh insisted🔥 that he had no plans to sacrifice the animals inside the society premises.
"Our ♐society had passed a rule that no livestock would be allowed inside the society, but they (some residents of the society) violated it and brought two goats inside. We are opposing it and will not allow it," said a resident of the society
"We appeal to all to maintain communal harmony and foll🌃ow the rules of the society🎃," says another resident of the society
“If bringing the goats inside 💦the housing colony is against the law, they should have filed a police complaint against us. We were assaulted, molested and mentally harassed by the mob that gathered to protest against us,” Mohsin Khan and his wife Yasmin Khan alleged.
The police later intervened to settle the dispute and assured so൲ciety members that animal sacrifice woul💧dn’t be allowed inside the premises in line with the rules.
The police have registered a case against 11 people. Sheikh later moved the goats out of the prop🧜erty.
