indiaUpdated: Sep 15, 2020 12:07 ISTDescendants of the late Jat king Mahendra Pratap Singh have demanded the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) to return the land given to the university by the late freedom fighter, as the 90 year lease for it has now expired. In a letter to AMU, the descendants of the late king have said the university’s ‘Tikonia Park’ and city school have been built on the land given on lease. With the duration of the lease now over, they argue, the land should be handed back to them. They have also demanded that the city school built on the land be named after Mahendra Pratap Singh. Mahendra Pratap Singh was an alumnus of the Mohammedan Anglo Oriental College, which later became the AMU.
