A man was recently caught urinating outside the Markazi Jamia Mosque in Keighley on 23 April and has been identified by the police. He was found to have travelled in a vehicle owned by Sayes & Co Ltd, a commercial heating and air conditioning company but on investigation, it was found that he does not work there.

This incident came to light during the holy month of Ramadan when many people gather at the mosque to pray and break their fast. According to the local councillor, the man was very drunk and made a mistake.

The man was interrogated by the West Yorkshire Police and everything was sorted out through community resolution where many members of the Muslim community in Keighley forgave the perpetrator after he apologised.

Councillor Mohsin Hussain (Lab) for Keighley Central expressed his concern and said, “It was a disgusting act, but I want to thank West Yorkshire Police for resolving the issue that has been blown out of proportion because of Ramadan.”
