Qadir Chennai. The iron rod for digging whole through mausoleum was
going to touch the mausoleum, then at that time suddenly the
mausoleum was moved from its place and it has become at slanting
position from its existing place. At the strike of the iron rod second time,
there was started coming from the fresh blood from mausoleum site.

confirmed that the blood belongs to the human being and fresh. So, for
this reason, the site of the mausoleum has kept as it is.
