==Mustafa Baba ==
Hazarat Mustafa Baba, was a Sufi saint who lived in Mominpura, had followers from many nearby cities. Baba had become famous for his spiritual powers.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=मुस्तफा बाबाचा मृतदेह अधिकृत दफनभूमीत दफन करा|url=https://divyamarathi.bhaskar.com/news/MAH-VID-NAG-mustafa-baba-buried-issue-nagpur-2259803.html|website=Divya Marathi|language=mr|access-date=2020-05-23}}</ref> On the night of 28 June 2011, he died, after which his followers buried his body in the playground owned by Central Tanzim Committee, which is not a registered area for burials.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Residents intervene in Baba case, want body shifted|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/Residents-intervene-in-Baba-case-want-body-shifted/articleshow/9139924.cms|date=8 July 2011|newspaper=The Times of India|language=en|access-date=2020-05-23}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> Baba's funeral procession had headed to Mota Tajbagh in the late evening after daylong controversy.<ref name=TOI1>{{cite news|title=Curfew in Mominpura after group clashes|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-06-30/nagpur/29720778_1_gas-shells-baba-mustafa-rioters|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029212506/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-06-30/nagpur/29720778_1_gas-shells-baba-mustafa-rioters|url-status=dead|archive-date=29 October 2013|date=1 July 2011|first=Soumittra S|last=Bose|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|accessdate=24 May 2020}}</ref>

His followers brought his body back to Mominpura, as they did not agree to certain conditions decreed by the Tajbagh dargah committee for burial. They broke open the lock of Mohammed Ali Serai's gate and apparently buried the Baba in front of the school, inside the Serai, at 5:30 am.

Serai management protested the act and approached the [[Tehsil]] police. It filed a complaint of trespassing against Baba's followers. Police said that the followers had assured them they would take the body to Mominpura burial ground, but later deviated from the plan.

The followers broke the Serai's lock in the presence of the police and this triggered the [[Gherao]] at the central police office later in the day. One of the agitators stated that it was not right to bury the Baba in the Serai that has the Jama Masjid close by.<ref>{{cite web|title=TOI|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-07-05/nagpur/29737975_1_baba-mustafa-riots-godman|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103082110/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-07-05/nagpur/29737975_1_baba-mustafa-riots-godman|url-status=dead|work=[[The Times of India]]|archive-date=2013-01-03}}</ref> "There are bound to be clashes and frequent skirmishes if the two venues are so closely located.

This led to [[riots]] between two groups, and rioters burned Baba's belongings. The rioters threw stones, damaged property and attacked police personnel and vehicles. Around 20 vehicles parked in the Sindhi Lane were damaged. A few traffic policemen were attacked by the protestors near the Geetanjali theatre. Some injured civilians and policemen were taken to hospital. [[Riot police]] were deployed at the pickets in disturbed areas. A youth was critically injured in the riot, and a section of the rioters ransacked the office of president of Mohammed Ali Serai and damaged its property. Police fired several [[tear gas]] shells and resorted to charging with their lathis.<ref name=TOI1 />
