Don't these people have any work to do?
At 1 am on Tuesday, Yusuf, 88, died in Rajasthan’s Udaipur district. And at 11 in the morning, he was buried at a local graveyard.
But since he had refused to identify with any sect — such as Barelvi, Deobandi or Wahabi — during his life, locals from the Barelvi community allegedly removed his body from the grave and returned it to his home in Khanjipeer in an ambulance.
Yusuf and his family identify themselves only as Sunni Muslims.

“Soon afterwards, I started getting calls from some people asking me to take my father out (of the grave). They said we should take him out as he was a Wahabi, and Wahabis are not buried in that graveyard,” said Hamid, an advocate. He added that the “goons” who called them may have been backed by “radical Barelvi clerics”.
He also claimed that some of the men reached their home and reiterated their demand.
Hamid said he was told on phone that “around 100-150 people” had gathered at the burial ground.
“I did not go and kept repeating that he has already been buried. When they kept calling, I sent some people to the graveyard at 12.45 pm,” Hamid said.
Hamid’s cousin Mohammad Husain, 71, who returned to the graveyard, said, “Dozens of our relatives are buried in that graveyard but the goons insisted we give it in writing that Yusuf was our relative, or they would throw the body on the road. Even though we agreed, they exhumed the body.”
The body was then put into an ambulance and returned to their home by 1 pm.
“Allah will judge them,” Hamid said. “We spoke to the driver of the ambulance and he agreed to take us to our native village in Mandsaur (in Madhya Pradesh, about 180 km from Udaipur).”
