A Sikh law student in the UK felt “victimised” after he was dragged out of a bar because he was wearing a turban, media reports said.
Amrik Singh, 22, claimed that he was ordered to leave Rush Late Bar in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, yesterday for wearing his religious headgear, BBC reported.
Singh was told that the bar had a “no headwear” policy.
He tried to explain to a bouncer who approached him that the turban protected his hair and was part of his religion. But his pleas were ignored - and he was “dragged away” from his friends before being removed from the venue, the report said. Singh was also allegedly told, “I didn't think you were allowed to come in a pub and drink anyway.”
