Plea in Delhi HC Seeks Removal of Terrorists' Graves

Plea in Delhi HC Seeks Removal of Terrorists' Graves

A group has asked the Delhi High Court to move the graves of Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhatt, who were terrorists, from Tihar Jail.

They believe these graves are turning the jail into a place where people celebrate terrorism, which is against the law and national security.

The group says keeping the graves there breaks the rules of the jail, which state that the bodies of executed prisoners should be handled to prevent them from becoming symbols of honor.

The group wants the court to order the graves to be moved to a secret place, like what was done with other executed terrorists, to stop any glorification.
