Historic Mosque Sealed by Authorities in Muzaffar Nagar

In Muzaffar Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, a historic mosque was abruptly locked by prison authorities without prior notice. On August 15, a regular attendee found the mosque sealed, with police citing its proximity to a nearby prison as the reason for banning prayers. The closure, under the administration of Yogi Adityanath, has raised concerns of discrimination against Muslims.
