Hyderabad: A supermarket manager and two security guards have been booked here at Vanasthalipuram for denying the entry of Manipur students due to coronavirus scare.
The students were not allowed into the supermarket despite producing the Aadhaar cards as they looked like foreigners. The incident occurred at Star Supermarket in Vanasthalipuram.
The two-minute video shared on Twitter showcases the two men being stopped at the entrance of the supermarket despite producing ID proof. When asked the reason, the guards, in turn, ask the men not to argue and talk to the manager.
"Two of my friends were denied entry today to buy groceries at Starmarket Vanastalipuram, Hyderabad. Reason? They look like a foreigner and not an Indian. Even after producing their Aadhar Card, they were denied entry and were sent back home empty-handed," the tweet reads.
