HYDERABAD: Tension prevailed at an Ahmediya mosque in Saidabad when a group of people belonging to a dominant sect of a community tried to disrupt afternoon prayers on Sunday.

At about 2.30 pm, about 200 activists belonging to Majlis Tahaffuz Khatm-e-Nubuwwat group led by their city leader Mohammed Ali Ansar Khatim went to Masjid-ul- Hamd Ahmadiyya mosque in Saidabad and asked the faithful to stop prayers, the Saidabad police said. Nearly 500 Ahmadis were inside the mosque celebrating their sect's formation day.

"The miscreants abused the people saying that they were not Muslims and told them to immediately stop the prayers. After that, they staged a rasta roko in front of the mosque," Saidabad inspector K Narsing Yadaiah informed.

Some miscreants even hurled stones at the mosque, but police claimed no one suffered any injuries. A special police team was rushed to the spot. The mob was quickly dispersed by the police and the Ahmadis were escorted out of the place. "We will register cases under the relevant sections of the law," the inspector said.
