Mangaluru, Mar 1: At least two Muslim girls were allegedly forced to remove their headscarves before entering the examination hall to appear for the II PU examination on Thursday at city based private college. The II PU exams commenced on Thursday across the state.

One of the victims, a science stream student from the city based St Aloysius College, had entered her examination centre at Canara College in the morning with headscarf. 

The invigilator admonished her and ordered to remove her headscarf before entering the hall. After a few minutes for fruitless efforts to convince the invigilator, the girl had to remove the headscarf and write exam. 

KR Thimmaiah, Deputy Director of Pre-University (DDPU) Board for Dakshina Kannada, said that he visited the Canara College on hearing the news and took the principal to task for not allowing the Muslim girls to wear headscarves inside the examination hall. He assured that such incidents would not be recurred.

The girl’s brother was quoted by local media as saying that the invigilator forced at least two Muslim girls to remove headscarves.

“Today’s paper was biology. My sister told me that she and another girl were asked by the invigilator to remove headscarves before writing exam. My sister then contacted her lecturer in Aloysius College over phone. Her lecturer reportedly contacted the Canara College principal but in vain. Then he requested my sister not to skip the exam and follow the rules imposed by Canara College at least on first day. She had to do the same,” he said.

Meanwhile Campus Front of India (CFI) has condemned the move of Canara College. In a statement, CFI district president Imran said that necessary actions should be taken against education institutions that snatch the religious freedom from the students in the pretext of dress code.

The Principal there is a sanghi. Although to be fair to her, she doesn't tolerate anything. A few years ago, she had irritated a student holding the Ayyappa vrata. Looks like she is trying to impose RSS discipline in the college.

On the first place, action against such culprit institutions is need of the time for not circulating norms of dress code of its institution on time, and then snatching the relegious freedom.

Mangaluru: A man fell victim to an online scam, losing Rs 1.7 crore after fraudsters posed as officials from TRAI. According to a complaint filed at the CEN police station, the incident began on November 11, when the complainant received a call from an unknown number at 9:49 am.

The caller, claiming to represent TRAI, alleged that another mobile number registered under the complainant's name was involved in illegal activities in Andheri (East), Mumbai. The caller further stated that an FIR was lodged against the complainant for harassment under the guise of marketing. He was instructed to contact Andheri (East) police station immediately or risk his mobile service being deactivated within two hours.

The complainant was subsequently connected to an individual named Pradeep Sawant, who claimed the complainant was implicated in a money laundering scheme linked to the Naresh Goyal fraud case. Sawant alleged that a fraudulent bank account under the complainant's name was opened at Canara Bank, Andheri, and used to purchase a SIM card for illegal activities. He warned that the complainant could face arrest.

Later, the complainant was contacted via WhatsApp video call by individuals posing as Rahul Kumar (a police officer) and Akanksha (a CBI officer). They allegedly sent fabricated CBI documents to his WhatsApp number. The fraudsters demanded money to "resolve" the case. Fearing threats, the complainant allegedly transferred Rs 1.7 crore through RTGS in batches of Rs 53 lakh, Rs 74 lakh, and Rs 44 lakh between November 13 and 19. A case has been registered at the CEN police station and an investigation is ongoing.
