Jailhouse fun: Held for fraud, ‘Disco baba’ dances for Hyderabad cops

A purported black magician, known as ‘Disco Baba’, who was arrested for duping people of money with claims of extraordinary powers, was caught on camera entertaining police officials with his dancing skills in Hyderabad.

Dressed in white, the ‘baba’ can be seen dancing to Bollywood songs while police officials look on, some even recording the performance.

The man, Anwarullah Khan, was arrested based on a complaint by Syed Iftekar Hussain, who accused him of taking Rs 35 lakhs to perform a ceremony with a promise of turning bad fortune around. Khan then handed over gold-polished biscuits and diamonds to Hussain, claiming they were original.

Khan, who also says he is a Unani doctor, allegedly has a number of fraud cases registered against him across several police stations.
