Amir was a karsevak involved in the destruction of Babri Masjid, when he reached home after the demolition he was given a hero's welcome by the public.

His secular family denounced his actions as a result of which he was feeling guilty. Later, when he fell sick and began having physiological issues he decided to consult with a Maulana.

He went to the Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui in Muzaffarnagar in UP and explained to him about the act of demolition of the Babri Masjid and expressed the desire for repentance

The Maulana explained to him the Islamic values through the Quranic verses. At that time he realized what he had done was sinfully wrong.

With this aim, he has built 91 Mosques in these 26 years and 59 were under construction. Mohammed Amir built the first mosque in Haryana and named it Masjid-e-Madina in 1994.

Meanwhile, on the current day, the local public informed police after a foul smell was emanating from his rented house in Baba Nagar, upon which a team from Kanchanbagh police reached his residence and found him dead and henceforth initiated enquiring into the reason for death.

"The exact reason of death cannot be made out at this moment, if we receive any complaint about the suspicion over his death from the family members, the police will proceed for postmortem and register a case," said Inspector Kanchanbagh police station J Venkat Reddy.

After participation in the destruction of Babri Masjid and later converting his religion to Islam has been on the task to build and renovate 100 mosques. Though he took an active part in the demolition of Babri Masjid after his conversion, he also pledged to protect mosques and had completed the construction of 91 mosques.

Mohammed Amir was staying at a rented house in Hafiz Baba Nagar C block under Kanchanbagh police station limits and was constructing in Hyderabad his 59th Masjid which has been named 'Masjid-e-Rahimiya.'
