NEW YORK - A teenager was arrested on hate crime charges for allegedly removing a Sikh student’s turban and forcibly cutting off his hair in a school bathroom, authorities said Friday.

Umair Ahmed, 17, was charged with unlawful imprisonment, menacing and aggravated harassment, said Kevin Ryan, spokesman for the Queens district attorney. Ahmed, who is of Pakistani descent, was also charged with criminal possession of a weapon.

The Sikh religious faith calls for men to wear their hair long, and many wear turbans.

Ahmed and the Sikh youth, who is 15, were trading insults at school Thursday when the younger boy tried to apologize, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. Ahmed told the boy he would only accept a haircut as an apology.

Ahmed then dragged him into a bathroom, pulled off the boy’s turban and cut his hair while two other students acted as lookouts, Kelly said. Ryan said no one else was charged.

There was no telephone listing for Ahmed at the Queens address provided by police.

School officials did not return a telephone message left Friday. Another Sikh student said there was generally little religious or ethnic tension among Newtown High School students.

“There are no problems at this school at all,” said the student, Sukhrit Kaur, 18.

Re: Pakistani charged with hate crime for cutting Sikh's hair

Pakistani students are ignorant jerks sometimes... This little sh1t should have the snot beat out of him.

Re: Pakistani charged with hate crime for cutting Sikh’s hair

Re: Pakistani charged with hate crime for cutting Sikh's hair

I would have been less concerned if the paki kid had just punched the sardar, but to be so insensitive with someone's religious belief is just plain wrong. Sad part is chances are that religious animosity is probably spawning from home.

Re: Pakistani charged with hate crime for cutting Sikh's hair

^^Yeah, its likely that it is.

Re: Pakistani charged with hate crime for cutting Sikh's hair

Any bully be it from any religion deserves a severe punishment.

Re: Pakistani charged with hate crime for cutting Sikh's hair

i dont see any funny side to it, insert a hijaban instead of sikh student and insert hijab been ripped in place of nasty action with hair. Adolescense doing such things should be dealt with a heavy hand. 17 is hardly a kid.

Re: Pakistani charged with hate crime for cutting Sikh's hair

^Yeah, and mind you removing hijaab is temporary.

Re: Pakistani charged with hate crime for cutting Sikh’s hair

:omg:

Its sad, but :omg:

Re: Pakistani charged with hate crime for cutting Sikh's hair

^Nahin dost it's not a laughing matter. Think about the emotion scar this guy is going to carry for the rest of his life. Do you think he will ever be forgetting what a pakistani or muslim did to him, can he ever trust any pakistani or muslim in his life. The humiliation he must be feeling going to the same school. Kids can be very very cruel to each other sometimes.

Re: Pakistani charged with hate crime for cutting Sikh's hair

I said its sad. But think he could have punched him etc...standard issue for schools, but he opted for a shampoo and trim treatment.

Re: Pakistani charged with hate crime for cutting Sikh's hair

I agree.

Re: Pakistani charged with hate crime for cutting Sikh’s hair

Yeah and then see insensitive jerks laughing over it… when it happens to someone else it’sf unny, when it happens to one of your own, well we’re ready to kill them. Standard hypocrites :rolleyes:
