Mumbai, Jul 31 (PTI) Actor Emraan Hashmi today accused a housing society in posh Bandra of "religious discrimination" saying that it denied him the NOC to purchase a flat in the building because he is a Muslim.
"This is clearly a case of religious discrimination.
Some people told me that this society is biased towards Muslims. They did not tell me directly but it is obvious," the actor alleged.
Hashmi said he wanted to buy a house in the posh Pali Hill but the housing society refused to give him the No Objection Certificate because of his religion.
"The Nibbana cooperative housing society at Pali Hill did not provide NOC to purchase the flat," Hashmi, who was flanked by mentor Mahesh Bhatt, told reporters here.
The actor said he has approached the State Minorities Commission, seeking its intervention on the issue.
