Muslim girls allegedly expelled from Bijnor school for wearing hijab despite dress code compliance
Bijnor: In Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, Muslim girls were reportedly expelled from Janta Inter College, Mahua, despite adhering to the school's dress code, due to wearing the hijab.
The students claimed that the principal, Shivendra Pal Singh, instructed them to remove their dupatta before attending classes.
This incident comes shortly after the Supreme Court of India recently partially stayed an order by a private college in Mumbai that had banned hijabs on its premises.
The Supreme Court had partially stayed the hijab ban until November 18, asserting that students should have the freedom to choose their attire.

7 held for running fake call centre in South Kolkata
Kolkata (PTI): Seven people were arrested from the Parnashree area in the southern part of the city for allegedly running a fake call centre, a police officer said on Saturday.
Acting on a tip-off, police raided a house on Netaji Subhas Road on Friday night and found the fake call centre operating from the ground floor, he said.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the accused had set up a bogus company using forged documents and posed as employees of an antivirus firm to call citizens in the US, the officer said.
"The callers would gain the trust of victims and then use remote access to take control of their phones or other digital devices. The accused allegedly siphoned off large sums of money, running into millions of dollars, from victims' accounts," he said.
Five laptops, two WiFi routers, six mobile phones and four headsets were seized from the accused, he said, adding that the seven are being questioned to ascertain the full extent of the racket and to identify others involved.
