Authorities manning the Juhu Muslim Cemetery, where they are interred say they were forced to take this step, and that it is in consonance with the Islamic law.
The Muslim burial ground located opposite Juhu Garden was a paradise of arts, given that luminous artistes like Rafi, Madhubala, Naseem Bano, Ludhianvi, Naushad, Ali Sardar Jafri, Khwaja Ahmed Abbas, Talat Mahmood and Parveen Babi were interred there.
