A Qutub Shahi Masjid was uninhabited at Amarkunta village of Ghatkesar. The 450 year old Qutub Shahi masjid was uninhabited since police action. According to locals 2 years ago miscreants had tried to demolish the masjid but local Muslims foiled their nefarious plan. Only some part of the walls is remaining while the roof is almost gone. A builder named Pop Reddy was eying on the Waqf land he was doing plotting around the masjid.

According to a local elder Mohammed Yaqoob Ali Quadri it is likely that the Waqf land under the Masjid is 24 acre but plotting has been done on almost all the land and just a few sqyds are remaining. Keeping in the view the situation, local Muslims with the help of TRS leaders and police offered Friday prayers in the masjid. They pledged to reconstruct the masjid and offer 5 day prayers in it.
