NEW York (TIP): New York State trooper Charanjot Tiwana sought permission to grow a beard for his wedding in March last year. However, his request was denied on the grounds that keeping a beard would pose a safety risk if required to wear a gas mask. The Indian Embassy in Washington has taken up the issue of a Sikh New York State trooper being barred from growing a beard with senior levels of the Biden administration, as lawmakers voiced concern over the incident and termed it “religious discrimination”.
