The processions caused chaos and posed threat to security, says the complaint lodged by presidents of two Muharram committees.

In one of the FIRs lodged at Atarsuiya police station against Ansari, Faisal, Mumtaz, Aijaz and others, the complainant Mohd Aslam of Rani Mandi stated that he was taziadar of Mehendi procession of Kolhan Tola since 1991 while his son Shadab is the taziadar of Mehendi procession of Rani Mandi since 2008.

“However, Ansari fraudulently removed the name of Shadab and added the name of one Faisal as taziadar in the register of Atarsuiya police station while claiming that Shadab was dead,” he stated. Similarly, Parwez Akhtar got his name removed from register of Shahganj police station as taziadar of Kolhan Tola procession and added the name of one Aijaz Niyazi fraudulently.
