GRAPPLER SUES OVER ‘TRASHED' TURBAN

Pro wrestler Tiger Ali Singh is suing World Wrestling Entertainment for harassment because his sacred Sikh turban was allegedly stolen and stuffed with garbage.

August 22, 2002 -- A Sikh professional grappler is pile-driving wrestling impresario Vince McMahon's company with accusations of religious and ethnic harassment.

Gurjit Singh Hans - whose ring name is Tiger Ali Singh - claims his turban, which is sacred in the Sikh religion, was swiped in 1999 from a locker and desecrated by World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. workers. He says they stuffed it with cigarette butts and garbage, and called the Indian- descended wrestler a "taxi driver."
