A group of girl students who were demanding that they be allowed to enter their college wearing hijab in Karnataka’s Tumakuru have been charged with unlawful assembly and disobeying an order promulgated by a public servant, Indian Express reported.
The case against 10-15 “unknown” girl students was filed after a complaint was logged by the principal of Empress Government Pre-University College in Tumakuru, around 70 km from Bengaluru.
On Thursday, the police barred the students from entering the college campus and told that they would be permitted entry only if they take off their hijab. Some of the students, however, demanded answers from college officials about why they were not being allowed inside.
As per the principal’s complaint, 10-15 students wearing hijab demanded entry into the college, and “disrupted” routine activities of the college.
