The website reported that Hindu preacher Devkinandan Thakur had said in a recent event in Mathura that Lord Keshav Dev's iols should be returned to the Hindu community. The intezamia (management) committee of the Shahi Masjid, Agra Fort, Agra; Chhoti Masjid Diwan-e-Khaas Jahanara Begum Masjid, Agra Fort; Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board and Sri Krishna Janmasthan Sewa Sansthan were made parties to the suit. Amir Ahmed, a lawyer in Agra, questioned the purpose of the suit when litigation on the same line is pending in the Mathura court. "We have not yet received any information about the case in Agra court," he added. Thakur claimed a temple was demolished in Mathura and its idols were taken by Aurangzeb in Agra in the year 1670.
