THANE – A mob of residents of a housing complex in Maharashtra’s Thane district created ruckus after a Muslim man brought a goat to his home ahead of Bakrid.

The police rushed to the housing society located in Bhayander area following the incident on Tuesday evening. They held discussions with the residents and pacified them, a station house officer (SHO) at Mira Road police station told PTI.

A video of the incident went viral on social media platforms in which some people were seen shouting and preventing the man from taking the goat to his house.

Mohsin Shaikh, the man who brought the goat to home, told the media that at nearly 200-250 Muslim families resided in the society and that he was given space to keep his goats every year.

He pointed out that it was only this year that the society had denied permission to keep goats on the premises and, therefore, he brought the animals to his house.

He further said that he had no plans to sacrifice the goats inside the society.

“We never do sacrifice in the society, always get it done in slaughterhouse or goat shop, every year builder used to give us space to keep goat, but this time builder said that there is no space,” he said, adding that he was asked to take permission from my society residents.

The police official said the man informs the police every year in advance about the procedure of bringing a goat to his house ahead of Bakrid as he has no other place to keep it.

“The man takes the goat away the next day and the animal is not slaughtered at his residence,” the official said.

The man has now been told to take the animal out of his house in the presence of police, he said.

However, the the police registered a case on Wednesday against 11 people under different sections of IPC for bringing goats, that were meant for sacrifice on Bakrid inside the society.
