The house of a Muslim who saved more than 40 people in India was demolished
One of India's most famous Muslims, Wakil Hasan's house in New Delhi was demolished without warning. In November, he and his team became heroes after rescuing 40 miners trapped in a landslide in 26 hours.
In New Delhi, India, the home of Wakil Hasan, who became a national hero in November, was demolished without warning. This was reported by Islan News with reference to Al Jazeera agency.
In November, the man was a national hero for rescuing miners trapped under the rubble for more than two weeks.
In November, Wakil Hasan and his team spent 26 hours digging by hand to save the lives of more than 40 miners trapped in the Himalayas after rescuers armed with professional equipment failed to free them. After that, Hasan gave dozens of interviews, received the Prime Minister's thanks and took selfies with Bollywood stars.
But three months later, his life changed. A man returning from the store with food saw a bulldozer near his house . The police have already managed to forcibly remove the children from the house. According to the government, the house was built illegally, so the land was seized for infrastructure projects. And the family of the hero was thrown out into the street.
Wakil Hasan appealed to the court to declare the destruction of his property illegal and to collect compensation.
It is noted that this situation is not unusual in New Delhi, where millions of people do not have housing documents.
"He lived in this house for decades. If the government considers this land to be state land , why did they remain silent for so long?" - says lawyer Kavalpreet Kaur, who often deals with such cases.
