On the orders of the Indore Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, a survey of Dhar Bhojshala is currently underway, marking the second day of investigation by an Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) team on Saturday, March 23.
The ASI team arrived at the Bhojshala premises early in the morning to conduct the survey, joined by representatives from both Hindu and Muslim parties. A substantial police presence, alongside monitoring through 60 cameras, has been established in the area.
Prior to admission onto the premises, workers were subjected to security checks, requiring them to deposit mobile phones and other electronic devices outside.
Among those present, Abdul Samad, representing the Muslim party and serving as the President of the Maulana Kamaluddin Welfare Society, arrived at Bhojshala after being unable to participate in Friday's survey due to health reasons.
Expressing dissent, Abdul Samad asserted that the survey had already been conducted, rendering further investigations unnecessary.
Additionally, he accused Bhojshala authorities of mistreatment during the survey process, citing his previous absence due to illness. Samad emphasized that despite his condition, the ASI team proceeded with the survey without pause.
On March 16, the Muslim party had filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the Bhojshala survey. However, the court scheduled a hearing for April 1.
Following the commencement of the survey on March 22, the Muslim side sought an expedited hearing, which was denied by the Supreme Court. Consequently, the hearing remains scheduled for April 1.
