Hyderabad:Murdered High Court advocate Khaja Moizuddin’s son Farhan has alleged that his father’s murder was intentional and linked to issues over grabbing of Wakf properties, which he had been fighting for over years.
Farhan accused Mujahid Alam Khan of illegally occupying Waqf land and constructing the educational institutions on the disputed properties in the city. He said his father had filed several cases challenging the alleged encroachments.
According to Waqf records, Anwar-ul-Uloom High School at Habeebnagar is on 2,826 sq yards, and a two-storey Anwar-ul-Uloom College at Mallepally has been built on 14,705 square yards. Aiza Madrasa (Nawab Shah Alam Engineering College) in Malakpet is spread across 6.5 acres and Mumtaz College has been established in the same area on 23 acres.
Sources said the society, which is running these institutions on Waqf land, had been paying the Waqf fund. These Waqf properties have been uploaded in the Umeed portal by the Waqf Board as they are notified properties.
The dispute between educational society members Mahbub Alam Khan and Mujahid Alam Khan, and Moizuddin, according to sources, stemmed over allegations that certain society guidelines were changed as per their convenience. Moizuddin’s father-in-law Ghulam Yazdani was also part of the society. The advocate reportedly raised concerns over such changes and went on to win related legal cases, sources said.
Meanwhile, the Waqf protection members and activists raised serious concerns over the murder of Moizuddin. If the family’s allegations of the involvement of Mujahid and Mahbub Alam Khan were proved to be true, it would be a matter of worry and security concern for the activists.
They said that several Waqf activists had faced attacks in the past for raising their voices against encroachments and misappropriation in income from Waqf institutions.
