Our next podcast takes place in Tulamba, focusing on a man named Sajjan and an inn he ran for travelers to stay overnight. Over time, Sajjan began engaging in a very unhealthy habit, which negatively affected travelers. He was stealing personal items from the rooms where the travelers were staying. What started as a means of keeping things left behind when the travelers left quickly turned into him going right into their rooms and stealing it while staying at the inn.
