A Muslim man who died of a heart attack had to be buried in a Hindu graveyard near Hyderabad after mutawallis (caretakers) of six graveyards denied him a final resting place on suspicion that he was a Covid-19 patient. It was two Hindu men from the area, Sandeep and Shekar, who came to the family’s aid and arranged a place to bury the man in a Hindu graveyard. Mohammed Khaja Miyan (55), who had moved to Gandamguda in Rangareddy district about 10 years ago, had died of cardiac arrest on May 22 at his residence. Narrating the ordeal, family members said Khaja Miyan was refused burial by mutawallis in six graveyards, first citing that they were non-locals and then claiming that Khaja could have died from coronavirus and they did not want to take a chance.
