Taking to X, formerly Twitter, state Congress president Ajay Rai wrote, “The house of Padma Shri Mohd Shahid was razed to the ground by the BJP government. Officials of the Public Works Department (PWD), which undertook the demolition, said only a portion of the four-storey house was demolished and compensation was paid to the occupants. There were nine co-owners of this house — the six brothers and three sisters of my husband. PWD Executive Engineer KK Singh said, “Only 10 per cent of the house belonging to those who have taken the compensation has been demolished so far. Of these, the occupants of 47 have accepted the full compensation and have agreed to demolition,” he added.
