Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti's dargah committee has decided to issue notice to actress Katrina Kaif for wearing a knee-length skirt inside the dargah premises.

Filming a sequence for "Namaste London", which featured Kaif wearing a knee-length skirt inside Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti's dargah in Ajmer, over 140 km from here, had created uproar among 'khadims' (servers) and the shrine administration.

A similar notice has been issued to actor Rishi Kapoor, director Vipul Shah and Babu Bhair Goshi, the shooting arranger for rolling the cameras without taking prior permission of the dargah authority.

The notice reads that all the accused should feel sorry for their act or they would be sued in the court of law.

"We have located the addresses of all the people except that of Katrina, which is being searched by the committee," Dargah Nazim Abdul Alim informed.

As per Islamic traditions, women wearing skimpy outfits are not allowed into the shrine and dargah officials and the Muslim community had taken exception to Kaif's attire.

It may be mentioned here that on Oct 2, while filming a sequence of "Namaste London", Kaif had walked into the dargah wearing a knee-length skirt, which had created a ruckus.

Dargah committee vice-president Sayed B. Chisti, while objecting to it, had said it was the duty of office-bearers accompanying the Bollywood team to ensure the sanctity of the shrine.

At the time of controversy, the film's director Vipul Shah had said: "There was no intention of hurting anyone's sentiments or religious feelings. Katrina's attire was in keeping with her role as a London-based NRI. We are even ready to drop the scene from the film."
