Bahraich Violence Aftermath: PWD Sends Illegal Construction Notice For Main Accused's House

Bahraich: The Public Works Department (PWD) has issued a notice to Abdul Hameed, the main accused in the Bahraich violence case, for illegal construction on government land. The notice comes after the recent violence in the Maharajganj area of Bahraich, which led to the death of 22-year-old Ram Gopal Mishra in a violence, which erupted during the goddess Durga idol immersion procession. Accused Hameed along with a few other accused is currently in judicial custody for their alleged involvement in the violent incidents.

The PWD has directed the removal of the structure, which stands 60 feet from the centre of the road, in violation of public land regulations. The house, allegedly built encroaching on a rural road, has been ordered to be demolished within three days.

This action follows the recent violence in the Maharajganj area of Bahraich, where Ram Gopal Mishra was killed during a confrontation between two communities. The incident triggered widespread unrest, including arson and vandalism.

Hameed, along with other accused, is said to be directly involved in the confrontation, which escalated tensions in the area.

His two sons, Sarfaraz and Faheem, had tried to flee to Nepal days after the incident but were shot during an encounter with the police. They were injured in their legs.

A local court has placed Hameed and his co-accused in judicial custody following their arrest.

Police have arrested a total of 60 individuals in connection with the violence, and the district remains under strict security surveillance, with drones and police forces patrolling the area.
