An Indian man from a rural area dressed in a ‘dhoti’ was stopped by a security official from entering a mall.
In a Brut. India report, a video shows 70-year-old farmer Fakirappa being stopped from entering a mall in Bengaluru, Karnataka, for wearing a dhoti and kurta.
Reports indicate that the elderly farmer had come to the mall with his son to watch a film.
Despite the fact that the son explained to the authorities that they had travelled a long distance and couldn’t change clothes, the mall supervisor allegedly insisted that these were strict managerial instructions.
Fakirappa’s son, seen speaking in the video, also alleged that the security personnel demanded that the man change into pants to enter.
Brut’s report states that a similar incident happened in Bengalaru metro station where an elderly man was not allowed to sit in a train because he was wearing “dirty clothes” even though he had a valid ticket.
