21-year-old Indian truck driver, Jashanpreet Singh, accused of causing a crash that killed three people in California, appeared in a US court without his turban, sparking outrage. Sikh leaders, including Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal, called it a violation of his religious rights and urged the Indian government to intervene. A petition on Change.org demands that his turban be returned and his faith respected. Singh, who moved to the US illegally in 2022, pleaded not guilty to charges of driving under the influence and manslaughter. His family insists he is innocent and does not consume drugs.
