Police in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, fired tear gas to disperse protesters opposing the partial demolition of the Shahi Masjid for a road-widening project ahead of Simhastha Kumbh 2028. Fifteen people were detained and seven booked after stone-pelting. The mosque committee had agreed to remove the portion itself, but fresh protests erupted hours later.
