In a new development in the Hijab controversy unfolding in Karnataka, a Hindu student of Indi College in Vijayapura district was denied entry for wearing ‘sindoor’ (vermillion). As per IANS reports the student was stopped at the gate and asked to remove the Sindoor citing the Karanataka High Court interim order on religious symbols in campuses.

The student was later allowed to attend classes after police intervention.

A similar case was reported from Belagavi’s Nandhghad College where Hindu students wearing saffron shawls were denied entry and sent back.

In Tumakuru the principal of Empress College filed a complaint against 15-20 students for violating prohibitory orders and creating chaos in the college premises demanding their right to wear Hijab. Notably this is the first FIR against students for protesting against authorities seeking permission to attend classes wearing hijab. However, the Principal has not named any student in the complaint.
