On 30 January, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) – a federally-run urban planning organisation – bulldozed the mosque, alleging illegal encroachment. Along with it, the madrassa – where Fawad and 25 other students, mostly orphans, lived – and an adjacent graveyard and a shrine of a Sufi saint (Islamic mystic) located inside the mosque complex were also razed.
