Mangaluru: The well-renowned ‘uroos’ is currently in progress at the Sayyid Mohammed Shareeful Madani Darga in Ullal on the outskirts of the city. It attracts large crowds from different parts of the country.
Taking advantage of the rush, a man was caught while attempting to relieve the women devotees of their valuables during late Tuesday night on Apr 7.
Saleem from Kannur was dressed as a female in the traditional veil and was seated in the place meant for women. He was spotted and identified by some persons. He was caught and thrashed by some locals. He was then handed over to the police.
The darga authorities have asked those arriving at the event to be cautious against such attempts.
Burkha could become its own enemy!

Dear Sharia Pandita, Your post makes no sense. Why are you bringing up Goa, BJP, RSS, Modi, Jains, aghori and every other thing into this discussion when my comments are purely on a dress code that hides your identity ? Remember – this dress code comes from those backward, tribal areas where men used this as a tool to hide the identity of their women. The ONLY purpose behind this dress was to hide identity of women from other ‘kaamanna’ tribal folks. LOL Answer the following questions: – Why are people from only one community caught in Mangaluru Vimaana Nildaana… Read more »
