Security heightened at Aurangzeb's grave in Maharashtra

economictimes.indiatimes.com — March 17, 2025 at 12:01 PM UTC

Security has been increased at Aurangzeb's grave in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, due to rising demands for its removal. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) is leading protests, citing historical grievances against the Mughal emperor. Visitors must now show identification and register their names before entering the site. The police have deployed additional personnel, including a company from the State Reserve Police Force, to maintain order. The VHP has threatened further action if the government does not respond to their demands. They argue that Aurangzeb's legacy is a symbol of oppression and should not be honored.
