Sikh Man Dragged Off Greyhound Bus, Detained By FBI For 30 Hours – Only Crime Was Wearing A Turban [View all]

A Sikh man is rightly raising h*ll to Texas authorities and demanding that action be taken after he was dragged off of a Greyhound bus and spent the next 30 hours being questioned by the Amarillo authorities for committing no other crime than wearing a turban and speaking a language other than English....

Daljeet Singh and Mohammed Chotri were arrested after another passenger on the Greyhound bus they were traveling on falsely reported that she heard them say the word “bomb” numerous times. Via Amarillo Globe News

Shortly after the bus pulled out of Amarillo, two other men on the bus restrained Singh in his seat until police showed up. Officers dragged Singh and Chotri, who had also been recently released from an immigration holding center, off of the bus....

A bomb squad was called to check the bus and a portion of Interstate 40 was closed down. Both men were detained in Amarillo and questioned by authorities for 30 hours before they were finally released after they were interviewed by the FBI. No charges were filed against either of them.


That's just Sikh!
