Touching moment a Sikh man breaks strict religious protocol and removes his turban to help save life of five-year-old boy hit by car
A New Zealand student who broke strict religious protocol by
taking off his turban to help save the life of a child hit by a car has
been heralded as a hero. Harman Singh, 22, removed his turban to help
cradle the bleeding head of a five-year-old boy who had been struck on
his way to school. Mr Singh heard the accident take place outside his
home, before running outside to investigate. He broke strict Sikh
protocol by removing his turban, but has been dubbed a hero. Turbans
become a part of a Sikh's body and are usually removed only in the
privacy of their own house. Normally this is in the most intimate of
circumstances, when bathing the head, or washing the hair. Since the
incident occurred, Mr Singh has received thousands of messages and
comments on his Facebook page. 'Thousands of people have said "well
done". I was only doing what I had to and trying to be a decent member
of the community,' he said.
