Mohammad Hamid Engineer

Mohammad Hamid Engineer is a controversial figure in Indian politics, known for his role as the president of the Minorities Democratic Party and his involvement in community affairs. Once recognized as an anti-terrorism crusader for his early warnings about potential violence within his community, Engineer's trajectory shifted dramatically as he became embroiled in legal troubles linked to sectarian conflicts. His social media activity, particularly inflammatory posts prior to riots, has drawn the attention of security agencies, leading to his arrest for allegedly inciting violence during the Nagpur riots in March 2023.
