In two colleges in Karnataka, there was a dispute over students wearing janeu. The first case is of Adichunchanagiri School in Shivamoga district. Where the three students who came to give the Common Entrance Test (CET) exam were removed.
The second case is of Sai Spurthi PU College in Bidar district. Here a student refused to take off the janeu, then he was not allowed to sit in the exam.
After the matter came to light, a police complaint was lodged by the Karnataka Brahmin Mahasabha. An FIR has been lodged against the accused.
First case: told the student in Bidar- Janeu cut
Student Suchivrat Kulkarni, who went to give exam in Bidar, Karnataka, said, “On April 17, I had a CET exam of Math. When I reached the exam center, the college management investigated me and saw my janeu.
They told me to cut or remove it, only then they will let me sit in the exam. I kept requesting him for 45 minutes, but finally I had to come back home. My demand is that the government should conduct the exam again or give me a seat in a government college.
Second case: In Shivamoga, the student took off 3 students’ janeu
According to the police, the security staff asked three students to take off the janeu at the Adichunchanagiri PU College Exam Center. When a student refused, he was stopped. While two other students removed Janeu before entering the examination hall.
Examination employees claim- did not ask to remove any thread
A senior police officer said that, when we questioned the college officials, he said that the building has been given only to conduct the exam on his behalf. They have no role in organizing or facilitating the intensity exam.
At the same time, the employees of the examination center claimed that they did not ask any student to take off their shirt or holy thread. According to the rule, he only asked him to take off Kashi Dhara (the holy thread worn around the wrist).
