Jaunpur Shivalinga found in the middle of the graveyard: A case of Shivlinga being found in the middle of the cemetery has come to light in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh. Regarding this, people from one side reached the police station of the city and demanded to build a boundary wall for the protection of Shivalinga. After this, administration and police officials immediately reached the spot and investigated.
Hindu side said it is 150 years old
One side says that the Shivalinga found in the cemetery is about 150 years old. Whereas, the other side says that it is 15-20 years old and worship was held here occasionally. Heavy police force has been deployed at the spot to maintain peace.
District administration and police officers active
Let us tell you that some people from one party reached Jaunpur Kotwali on Friday evening with the demand of building a boundary wall for the protection of Shivalinga in the cemetery located at Mulla Tola Maholla of Jaunpur city police station area. As soon as the information was received, the district administration and police officers became active. City Magistrate Inder Nandan Singh, Assistant Superintendent of Police Ayush Srivastava and City Kotwal Mithilesh Mishra reached the spot with heavy police force.
During interrogation, a group of local people told that this Shivalinga is about 150 years old. Earlier there was a huge Peepal tree here, under which this Shivalinga is installed. After the tree fell, the Shivalinga was left under the open sky, due to which it is now unsafe.
There is no mutual tension in this area
In 1972, an agreement was reached between the two parties that the people of the Hindu organization would continue to perform the puja. Whereas, the other side says that the Shivalinga present in the middle of the cemetery is 20-25 years old. He also says that earlier it was under the Peepal tree. The Peepal tree becomes exposed as soon as it falls. In this area with 99% Muslim population, Holika Dahan is also done next to the cemetery and sometimes people also come to worship Shivalinga. There is no mutual tension here.
Former councilor Faisal Yasin says that the rumor of finding Shivalinga here is false. People have been performing the puja since 2006. Holika Dahan also takes place here next to the graveyard. There is no mutual tension here.
Police are deployed on the spot to maintain peace and order
City Magistrate Inder Nandan Singh said that the case of Shivalinga has come to light in the cemetery of Mulla Tola area of Jaunpur city. Joint inspection was conducted at the site. There are two aspects to this. One side says that there was a Shivalinga and a temple here. The rooms that were built have also been destroyed. At present, the Shivalinga is in the open. We want to build there. The matter of performing puja two or three times a year has come to our notice. No case of regular worship has come to light. At present, police is deployed at the spot to maintain peace.
Some people are spreading fake news
On the other hand, the police has termed the news of Shivalinga being damaged circulating on social media as misleading. Additional Superintendent of Police, City Arvind Verma said that there is no such case. Some people are spreading fake news. There is no tension on the spot. Police are deployed as a precaution.
