The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal have filed a police complaint over the depiction, alleging the madrasa teaches subjects related to Pakistan and is built on encroached land. Local police have now launched an investigation into the incident and the broader allegations against the madrasa.
