Inquiry sought

New York: Outraged by a high school student setting afire a Sikh schoolmate’s “patka” in New Jersey, the community has demanded an inquiry into the unprovoked attack and asked the school to foster religious harmony.

Police are investigating the incident which occurred on May 5 at Hightstown High School in Mercer County in New Jersey during a fire drill.

The Sikh student, who is a teenager and would not like to be identified, was chatting with a friend when another student, whom he did not know, came up from behind and set his “patka” or small turban on fire using a lighter.

A teacher helped him put out the fire. — PTI
