UP neighborhood protests home sale to Muslim buyer with 'for sale' signs

India Nov 30, 2025

In Hanuman Tila, Khurja Nagar (UP), a Hindu family's decision to sell their house to Salim, a Muslim man, set off an unusual protest—neighbors put up "house for sale" posters across the area.
Pradeep Sharma sold his home after nearly a year of searching for buyers due to financial stress.
By November 30, 2025, posters had gone up as locals voiced their discomfort over the change.

What's actually happening?

Despite the visible protest, police say there's been no violence or people leaving the area.
Talks are ongoing between both sides to keep things peaceful.
Interestingly, Salim has even said he's open to selling the house back if any local wants it—including Sharma himself—showing he wants things to stay calm in the neighborhood.
