US eatery apologises to Sikh man

A Virginia restaurant has apologised to a Sikh man for refusing to let him into the establishment because he was wearing a turban.

On November 24, Hansdip Singh Bindra was denied entry into the Richbrau Brewing Co. restaurant in Richmond, Virginia, because it had a "no-hats" policy. Despite Mr Bindra's efforts to explain the religious significance of his turban to the management he was denied entry.

On December 1, the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund received a formal apology from the Richbrau Brewing Co.

In the letter addressed to Mr Bindra, Michael Byrne, director of operations at the Richbrau restaurant noted: "It is with this letter that I would like to extend to you an apology for our doorman enforcing the 'no headgear policy' literally."

Following the incident Mr Bindra had approached SALDEF to help get him redress. SALDEF managing director Kavneet Singh admitted there "continues to be a problem of under-reporting of civil rights violations in the Sikh American community."
