Sikh Men Allege Denial of Entry at Zudio Store in Imphal Over Kirpan
An alleged incident from Imphal, Manipur, has sparked debate online after two Sikh men claimed they were asked to leave a Zudio store for carrying Kirpans. The store is reportedly located near a Gurudwara in the city.
According to the duo, the store management told them that some customers felt uncomfortable due to their presence, as they were wearing Kirpans — a ceremonial article of faith that baptized Sikhs are religiously mandated to carry. The men stated that they personally spoke to people inside the showroom, who reportedly denied feeling unsafe.
They further claimed that when they asked the manager to show any official company policy prohibiting entry to Sikhs wearing a Kirpan, no such document was provided. The incident led to a heated exchange inside the store, and the video of the confrontation has since gone viral.
As of now, there has been no official statement from the store management regarding the allegations. The incident has triggered mixed reactions on social media, with many discussing religious rights, public safety, and institutional responsibility.
