Washington, United States (May 04, 2014): A Sikh in California has been barred from jury duty after he refused to remove the kirpan.
Gursant Singh was told that he could not bring the kirpan into a Sutter County courthouse in Yuba City due to security concerns.
According to CBS News, Gursant Singh said he would like to be a juror, but would go to jail rather than deny his religious beliefs.
As per media reports Gursant Singh and dozens of supporters demonstrated outside the courthouse last week.
