The college had banned the wearing of hijab as per the decision of it syndicate.

Though majority of the Muslim students attended classes on Saturday without Hijab, 12 students came in wearing them.

They insisted on allowing them to attend classes with Hijab.

However, the college principal stopped them from attending classes and were also denied permission to go to the library, after which the students returned home.
