The shooting of a song and dance sequence for a Kannada movie near Gumbaz, which houses the tomb of 18th century ruler of Mysuru Tipu Sultan, has sparked a row.
Though six months had passed since the song sequence for the movie Namo Bhootatma 2 was shot on the elevated platform surrounding the domed mausoleum, the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) has now taken serious offence for shooting an allegedly obscene dance sequence at Gumbaz housing the tomb and sought the resignation of former Minister Tanveer Sait, who is the chairman of the Tipu Sultan Wakf Estate.
Though Gumbaz is an Archeological Survey of India (ASI)-protected monument, the Tipu Sultan Wakf Estate is the custodian of the monument.
