Prince Tucy attends Taj Urs in Agra

From the archive record

'Prince' Yaqub Habeebuddin Tucy , who says he is the great great grandson of Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, attends Taj Urs in AGra. He arrives at Taj Mahal with security officers. Urs is not just a day when Taj Mahal witnesses its maximum tourists, Urs is also the only occasion when self-styled Mughal Prince Sahebzada Yakub Habibuddin Tucy visits the Taj Mahal to pray at his ancestors’ graves in order to reaffirm his claim to the Mughal legacy. Tucy is known to be at loggerheads with the Khuddam-E-Roza Committee which organizes the annual Urs. This year, Tucy and Committee members broke into a war of words beside the original graves of Shahjahan and Mumtaz, causing panic among tourists present at the moment.
