A college student Naveed Hasan Saab Tharathari was thrashed in Bagalkot district, Karnataka for wearing a skull cap. An FIR has been filed against seven people including the principal and sub-inspectors.
The incident took place on February 19. The student in his petition said he came to the Government First Grade College of Teradal wearing a skull cap. He was insulted and prevented from entering the institution, "belittling" his religious sentiments.
He approached the local Banahatti JMFC court which directed the Teradala police station to take action. Jamakhandi Deputy SP will be investigating the matter and a hearing will be held on June 30.
Earlier, Principal A.S. Pujara had filed a complaint against Naveed and his father accusing them of obstructing him from doing his duty.
