In Garhwa district of Jharkhand, The family members of Kariman Ansari were refused space for his burial on account of allegations that he used to go to Hindu temples.
Seventy-five year old Ansari died on Friday (10 January 2019), and when the family members reached the graveyard, and started digging a grave for the dead body, the secretary Maqbool Ansari and Imam Zakir Hussain stopped them, the family persons told Jagran.
The Imam stated that Ansari had committed such acts which could not be pardoned in Islam, that is why he was not allowed to be buried in the Muslim community’s graveyard.
The family of the deceased said that except close family members, no one attended the funeral, and Ansari’s body had to be buried in their own land.
