Mangaluru: Social worker exposes beggary in name of Sai Baba


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (EP)

Mangaluru, Jan 31: Social worker Sowraj Mangaluru has exposed in his Facebook account, three people from outside the state who were begging in the name of Sai Baba using fake Aadhaar card in the city.

The men were begging in PVS, Hampankatta, State Bank and other places with saffron shawl on their heads saying that they had come from Shirdi. Their real face came to light when Sowraj questioned them looking at their attire.

Sowraj, who followed them, took pictures and uploaded them in social networks urging people not to trust the people who are begging in the name of Sai Baba.

Sowraj speaking to Daijiworld said that the three people had no knowledge of Sai Baba. One of the suspects fled while investigations were in progress. One of them is differently abled. “I inquired about them after I grew suspicious about their clothes. They told me the truth,” he said.

The video of the social worker has gone viral on social media with many appreciating Sowraj’s attempt to create awareness about such fraudsters in the city.

    His works are commendable, but the arrogance behavior shown by him can never be justified.In this case or in the case of attacking transgender beggers.There is still law and order in our city, so taking law in hand claiming to be a social worker is not at all acceptable.

    While the work done by sowraj is commendable ..going behind beggars and petty thieves and making such videos viral will be considered as publicity stunts ..but such viral videos can make impact on people with regards to cleanliness drives..His video on Generic medicine shops is welcome.Even famous media houses ,MPs,MLAs fail to publish such good and positive things done by govt..owing to to their political affiliations or due to some background connection with pharma companies.

    He has to run behind politicians,corporators,MLA's ,MPs who have promised the sky to the people and have not delivered their promise...it includes invoking RTI for any open irregularities ..
    Ward by ward ..do a reality check on the ground ..inspire people to be socially active ..every person in the locality should spend an hour per week cleaning up his house and surrounding areas within his locality.
    These days youth spend too much time on collecting donations for bootha kola,temple,church,mosq etc..instead of that better to cleanup the garbage lying around your locality.

    Nowadays there are more beggers than workers.Many of them beg in name of that and this,some people believe them and feel pity and give them.
    That makes them further to earn a good amount of money than working whole day.some of them too lookaround the houses who is what and at night for extra earning by theft.
    One shouldnt encourage begging,however they look or in name of God.Why didnt the social worker inform police or handover them to police?
