A recent incident at a Bank of India branch in Nagpur has stirred conversation online regarding discrimination and dress policies after a man was refused entry for wearing shorts. In a circulating video, the man can be seen in a heated exchange with a security guard, reportedly over the guard’s refusal to admit him due to his attire.
The confrontation unfolded when the man attempted to enter the bank for some financial transactions but was halted by security personnel citing the bank’s requirement for visitors to wear full-length trousers. Expressing surprise and frustration, the man, who had not encountered such restrictions elsewhere, argued that he was unaware of the dress code policy.
In the video, a security guard stationed at the bank’s entrance engages in a debate with the customer, asserting that the reason for denying entry was the man’s shorts instead of trousers.
Despite the man’s inquiry about the existence of a dress code for bank customers, the guard remains unresponsive. While the bank has defended its policy on maintaining decorum, the incident has raised broader questions about balancing professionalism and individual freedoms in public spaces.
