A Sikh man from Delhi alleged he was denied entry to Delhi’s We Qutub restaurant due to his religion and the attire he wore.

Param Sahib — a Sikh — took to the photo-messaging app Instagram and accused the restaurant staff of misbehaving with him and his friend on Saturday night.

He wrote in his Instagram post: “HI @wequtub, today later in the evening, I along with my friends was not allowed inside the premises on the grounds of being a Sardar and having an untrimmed beard, with a reason saying that I am not cool enough as per the other Hindu gentry.”

He alleged that his “female friends were spoken badly to with a crass attitude from the guy at the counter” of the restaurant.
