man's
turban!
It is very bad incidence of America. A NEW JERSEY women has been arrested on charges of
bias intimidation and harassment after the tried to rip off a Sikh man''s turban at a restaurant.
38-year-old Hansdip Singh Bindra said, " I could feel a hand pulling this off.." Mr. Bindra was at the popular
bar with a colleague just after midnight.
" Removing my turban in public is akin to giving me a strip search." he
told CBS
Police said Carrie Covello, 37...grabbed the turban while standing behind Bindra at the bar. She then apparently asked him, " why are you wearing that on your head?...You are out for evening with colleagues and this is the last thing you''d expect" Bindra said, adding he had asked Covello if there was a problem.
" she said '' Take it off, Idon''t like it.'' Bindra was quoted as saying by media here. Bindra alerted the bauncer and called the police, who arrested Covello on wednusday. Carvello admitted to'' touching'' the turban, but told the police that she was only joking and did''t mean anything by it, police said.
Corvello was charged with bias intimidation and harassment and the prosecutor''s office will ultimately determine if her actions at the bar were based on some kind of religious bias.
Bindra said," if this people don''t punished, this will happen over and over again.
Dave Carney, the owner of restaurant, apologised for the incident and condemned Covello''s actions.
