A woman claimed on Friday that authorities demolished her house after her son was named as accused in a case related to the violence that broke out in Sendhwa town of Madhya Pradesh on Ram Navami, even though he was in jail at the time.

Police officials conceded that Shahbaz, the accused, was in fact in prison on April 10, but justified the demolition claiming he was a "listed criminal of the area".
Shakeena, the woman, told reporters that her son was in jail on Ram Navami when communal violence erupted in Sendhwa in Barwani district.
