Fashion Police at SBI: The Kolkata man's Twitter post, claiming that a State Bank of India branch told him to come back wearing full pants, sparked a fiery debate on the microblogging site.
While it can be reassuring to see some security at a bank, the fashion police may be one of the last things one expects to encounter on a trip to a branch.

Earlier this week, a man from Kolkata complained on Twitter that a State Bank of India (SBI) branch denied him entry for wearing shorts - their reason being that they expected their customers to "maintain decency" at the branch.
In a tweet directed at the official SBI Twitter handle that has since gone viral, the man, identified as Ashish, said, "Hey @TheOfficialSBI went to one of your branch today wearing shorts, was told that I need to come back wearing full pants as the branch expects customers to 'maintain decency'."
"Is there some sort of an official policy on what a customer can wear and cannot wear?" the tweet added.
