DNA: Who is making Afzal a saint?

Now let's talk about Maharashtra. Afzal is not recognized in history like any Sufi saint or Mahatma. But you will be surprised to know that Afzal Khan's grave gradually started being called the tomb of a Sufi saint. And not only this, Afzal's Urs i.e. death anniversary started being celebrated. The sevadars have also encroached on this area, calling this grave a tomb.
