Following the death of the sect's sheikh, Seyyid Abdulbaki El-Hüseyni, on July 12, 2023, the community, which experienced a struggle for leadership, saw its followers split into groups gathering around different leaders.

Two groups within the community had a major dispute in Istanbul today.

A group affiliated with Menzil, which had gathered for an event in an area near the Khedive Palace in Beykoz, did not allow members of the other group to enter. Police intervened after tensions rose.

POLICE SEPARATED THE PARTIES WITH DIFFICULTY

The latest friction in the Menzil community, where disputes have been escalating, occurred today in Beykoz.

A group affiliated with Menzil, which had gathered for an event held for Ramadan, did not admit the other group to the invitation.

As tensions rose between the parties during the ensuing scuffle, the police intervened in the incident. It was learned that the parties were dispersed through the intervention of law enforcement forces.
