According to reports, Mohammad Yusuf has always identified himself as a Sunni Muslim.

The body was returned to Yusuf’s family by an ambulance.

The things went ugly after Yusuf was buried. Yusuf’s son Hamid claimed reveiving calls from unknown people asking him to dig out his father’s body as he was not from their sect. The caller also threatened to throw the body on the road if he didn’t come to the graveyard.

After persistent calls, Hamid sent some of his relatives to graveyard to look after the grave of his father and his worst fears come true.

Yusuf’s body was dug out by miscreants despite his relatives’ giving in writing that he was their relative.

The body was then loaded on to an ambulance and reached Hamid’s house on the same day.

Yusuf migrated from Mandsaur in Madhya Pradesh decades back and was involved in Mauli business. He was buried on the same day in Mandsaur.
