Hyderabad Bouncers Allege Religious Discrimination in Dandiya Event Hiring
In Hyderabad, a group of bouncers, including Muslims and Hindus, allege religious discrimination in hiring for Dandiya events during Navratri, claiming Muslim workers are being excluded under pressure from certain groups. Mohammed Feroz, a bouncer, highlighted the impact on livelihoods and called for police action. Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi urged authorities to address this issue to prevent communal tensions and protect social harmony in Telangana. Organisers reportedly deny Muslim bouncers contracts despite their experience and role in crowd management.
