A video from a Zudio store in Imphal, Manipur, shows two Sikh men refusing to leave their kirpans outside, citing constitutional rights to carry them as religious symbols. Store security requested this due to concerns over full-sized swords potentially intimidating others. The video, first posted on YouTube, sparked mixed reactions online, with some supporting the store's security measures and others emphasizing religious freedom. Some users cautioned against using religious rights to justify intimidation, referencing legal provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
