Bangladesh team skips mosque to hold Friday prayers at hotel in Gwalior

According to PTI, the squad did not visit the city's Moti Masjid on Friday, and instead did their prayers at their hotel. Gwalior Zone Inspector General Arvind Saxena further revealed that elaborate security arrangements were made for the team, but they didn't turn up. The mosque is located in the Phoolbagh area, which is about 3 km from the team hotel of the Bangladesh cricket team.

"We had made elaborate security arrangements around Moti Masjid but the Bangladesh team did not turn up. No organisation had given any call to disrupt their visit," he said.

Security has been beefed up in Gwalior after a call for a city-wide bandh on match day by right-wing groups in protest to the alleged violence on Hindus in Bangladesh, since the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government.
