Muslim woman wearing footwear at Badami cave temple taken to task by Hindu tourist

BAGALKOT: A young Muslim woman, who claimed to be an employee of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), was seen sitting with footwear inside Badami’s historic cave temple in Bagalkot district.

Roshni Mustafi was sitting with footwear on and didn’t listen despite being told multiple times and scolded by a Hindu woman tourist. When questioned, she says “Stop”. The tourist scolded her, asking, “Do we go to a dargah wearing footwear?”

Hijab-wearing ASI “staff” allegedly entered our temple wearing slippers.

Why are Muslims being hired at Hindu temple sites? How can @ASIGoI be so careless?

Also, please investigate whether all the sculptures are intact. You never know what brainwashed Zombies might have done. pic.twitter.com/e8ilBzSMVh

After an argument between the two, the Muslim woman called someone while crying. The incident happened on Sunday, and the video is now viral on social media.
