Sikh Woman Sues After Go Kart Facility Cuts Her Hair To Free Her In Accident

Courthouse News reported Tuesday on a suit filed recently in Chicago's Cook County (IL) Circuit Court by a Sikh woman who is distressed that the operators of a Go Kart track insisted on cutting her hair to free her after her hair was sucked into the engine of the Go Kart she was driving. Friends with Holly Hanjra at the time insisted that the staff of  Melrose Grand Prix call 911 rather than cut Hanjra's hair, because of its religious significance. The suit seeks damages for assault and battery; emotional distress; willful, wanton and negligent misconduct; and negligent hiring, retention and supervision.
