At the Aurangzeb Tomb protest organized by Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal, Bajrang Dal Belapur Coordinator Swarup Patil backed the demand for the grave’s removal. He claimed Aurangzeb killed four lakh Hindus and committed “genocide”. Patil declared the grave taunts Hindus and cited Babri as the example to follow. He threatened karseva at multiple mosques and mazars if the government failed to act.
