A controversy has broken out in Mumbai following allegations from AIMIM leader Jahanara Shaikh, who claims a security guard at the BMC-operated Dr. RN Cooper Hospital told her to take off her burqa before entering the maternity ward. Jahanara stated, "I asked her the reason, she bluntly told me that babies get stolen when people wear burqas." Authorities have since issued a show-cause notice to the security guard involved.
