An Indian-Canadian comedian belonging to the Sikh community was forced to take off his turban during the security check at the San Francisco airport. Jasmeet Singh, popularly known as JusReign, tweeted about the incident on Sunday. He said the authorities didn't even provide him a mirror to tie his headgear back after the check, but instead directed him to a nearby washroom. According to the Sikh religion, men are required to cover their hair at all times in public.

This is the second such incident this month. On February 9, Sikh-American actor Waris Ahluwalia was barred from boarding an Aeromexico flight from Mexico City to New York after he refused to remove his turban during a security check, reported PTI.
