Since I doubt there is actually a law against bringing plastic bags into certain buildings, it sounds like the security guard just misunderstands

In Mumbai, citizens seen to be carrying plastic bags are liable for fine of 5000 INR for first time offenders and up to 3 months prison time.

Doesn't matter if it's 1 y/o or 10y/o. All plastic bags are banned.
