What exactly happened?
This week a joint entry test (CET) took place to select students to take professional courses.
Officials quoted that in Bidar the student had to return home in Bidar without writing mathematical paper on Thursday morning, after the screening at the Sai Spoorthi College test center reportedly asked to remove Janivar before entering the exam.
The police official said, “The boy apparently begged employees (forming the police personnel part of the Frisk team) to leave him to the hall because there was no scope that would indulge in any neglect by wearing Janivara,”
“However, employees were not allowed to claim that there was a possibility that he would hurt. He was asked to remove the frightened thread and then entered the investigative hall.
CET aspirant could later appear on a biological test that had a sacred thread in (Thursday) in the afternoon, he said. “The same student appeared for physical and chemical papers the day before he wore a sacred thread without any problem,” the officials added.
Meanwhile, in Shivamogg, the police said that three students were reportedly asked to remove their Janivaras by security staff in Adichunchanagiri PU College on Wednesday.
According to the accusation, one of the students refused to remove the sacred thread and was allowed to write a test, while the other two removed Janivaru before entering the examiner.
“We haven’t received any complaint from our parents yet. But as we questioned university authorities, they said that only the building was given on their part, and that they had no role in carrying out or facilitate entrance exams, while employees in the test center claimed that they did not apply for their shirts or sacred thread).
What did the student say, “I was asked to remove Janivaru”
A student who missed an exam in Bidar on Saturday said, “I was asked to remove Janivaru and come, leading at college and three people who looked like the police. They told me that I would be allowed to write the paper after.”
“I was just told to do it, the others were permitted normally after the checks,” the student said.
“I told them that we in the Brahmine community must not be removed by Janivar and I was allowed to physics and chemical paper, why such restrictions for mathematical paper. They said that correct checks were not carried out for other documents and they do it now. I asked for 45 minutes …” said.
