Mysuru, Nov 27, 2022: A bus stop in Mysuru, recently in the news over a BJP MP’s threat to raze it for looking like a mosque because it had three domes on top, now has a new look, videos and images shared online show.

The bus stop on the Kerala Border-Kollegala section of the National Highway-766 now only has a single dome, painted red. Two smaller domes that were present - with all three coloured gold - are now missing.

This comes days after Karnataka BJP MP Pratap Simha sparked a controversy by saying that he has asked engineers to demolish the "mosque-like" structure which had been constructed by an MLA from his party.

"I’ve seen it on social media. The bus stand has three domes, a big one in the middle and two small ones beside it. That’s a masjid only," he had said.

He had also claimed that such "Gumbaz-like" structures were being constructed in most parts of Mysuru.
