A 25-year-old woman in Mumbai has alleged that she was asked to vacate a flat because she is a Muslim, reports said on Wednesday. Misbah Quadri, who moved into a 3-BHK apartment at Sanghvi Heights in Wadala, was told by the broker that the housing society did not accept Muslim tenants a day before she was to shift, according to the Hindu. She also said that the brokers and owners were always reluctant in letting her stay even after she assured them that she is not a practicing Muslim and does not wear 'Burkha'. Quadri, who says she now feels ashamed to call herself an Indian, has also approached the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) after she was thrown out of the apartment.
