Case filed against Mumbai company for denying job to a Muslim man

Mumbai, May 21 (IBNS) The Mumbai police on Thursday registered a case against Hare Krishna Exports after the company rejected a man's job application for being a Muslim.

In a glaring case of religious discrimination, the Mumbai-based diamond export company has been booked under IPC Section 153B for hurting religious sentiments

MBA graduate Zeshan Ali Khan mailed his resume to Hare Krishna Exports and in reply, they said they hire only non-Muslim candidates.

Zeshan shared his experience on his Facebook page, which immediately raised outrage.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi talks about inclusive growth, but companies are dealing like this. If I was not qualified enough, I should have been told accordingly," Zeeshan told CNN-IBN.

Reports quoted the company as saying that the E-mail was sent erroneously by a new employee who was still training. The company said it does not discriminate against candidates based on religion.
