The situation heated up after BJP district president Mukhlal Pal alleged the tomb covered a historic Thakur ji and Lord Shiva temple.
This sparked the vandalism and led groups like Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad to announce plans for prayers at the spot, saying they're standing up for their religious rights.
District Magistrate Ravindra Singh assured everyone that order is under control, urging people not to believe rumors so peace can be maintained.
