Reliance Mart — unauthorised search conducted by security

Address:

Salem, Tamil Nadu

Today i had shopped from reliance market mall salem. By the exit way i was summoned by the security and asked me to handover my personal bag to him to conduct search inside it. He said that as per rule reliance has the authority to check the personal bag of customer who shops from reliance. My wife got panicked with this petty act of the security guard and we got harrassed. I had asked the bag keeping staff to keep my bag inside and he only suggested me that i can take my personal bag inside. Please mention that on what grounds that you are entitled to trespass in to the personal items of a customer/citizen when no alarms or theft mechanisms got triggered.
