Mangaluru: A person was arrested and later let off with a warning in connection with the incident of desecrating the gravestones of former MLA U T Fareed and his wife Naseema Fareed, parents of Ullal MLA and health minister U T Khader, on Saturday, April 30.

The person is reportedly mentally ill and had desecrated the gravestones situated at Sayyid Mohammed Shareeful Madani Dargah near Ullal on Friday April 29.

It may be recalled that, the appointment of ad-hoc president to the Ullal Juma Masjid and Sayyid Madani Dargah committee had led to some clashes recently between two groups.

The president of Sayyid Madani Dargah committee had condemned the attack on the gravestones.
