New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has warned officials of the immigration and police department from profiling individuals on the basis of religious practices. The court said such profiling was contrary to the constitutional creed of India.
The observation came while hearing the case of a Muslim Canadian national of Indian origin who was immediately sent back to Canada upon his arrival at Hyderabad airport citing reason that he had visited mosques and attended religious gatherings during his last visit.
The man, Mohammad Abdul Moyeed, had challenged the decision of blacklisting him in Delhi High Court.
The central government, in response, had told the court that they had acted on report of a police officer in Haryana.
