Rajanna-Sircilla: Police on Thursday locked a dargah near the premises of Rajarajeshwara Swamy temple, Vemulawada, since the issue of managing the dargah was pending with the court.

One family was managing the dargah, which is patronised by people from multiple religions, for the last 25 years. One year ago, another family approached the court claiming the right to manage the dargah.
