Land dispute halts woman's burial in MP village
A woman from a minority community passed away, and her family wanted to bury her in a specific plot of land in their village.
However, some Hindu groups said that the land was actually a government grazing area and used to have a school.
This caused a big argument, and the police had to come to keep the peace.
The family couldn't bury the woman there, so they took her body to another place called Jabalpur for the burial.
The officials said they would look into the land papers and make a fair decision later.
A land dispute in Baraiyakheda village, Madhya Pradesh, prevented the burial of a woman from a minority community.
Hindu organisations claimed the burial plot was government grazing land and previously a school site.
Police and administration attempted to mediate but were unsuccessful, leading to the deployment of police forces.
The family later took the body to Jabalpur for burial.
Officials assured that a land survey would be conducted, and a decision would be made based on the findings.
