Former Member of Parliament and All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Imtiaz Jaleel has demanded that the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) be invoked against two individuals arrested for allegedly planting gelatin sticks and triggering an explosion inside a mosque in Maharashtra’s Beed district.

According to PTI, the blast occurred in the early hours of Sunday at a mosque located in Ardha Masla village in Georai tehsil. The incident took place just ahead of Gudi Padwa and Ramzan Eid celebrations. While no casualties were reported, the internal structure of the mosque sustained damage due to the explosion.
