Mangaluru college denies admission to scarf-clad student: Alleges girl student
Instead of admission, principal instructs to hand over the TC
Mangaluru: A student, who had passed the first PU exam with good score previous year, has been denied admission for the second year by the same college, at the St. Agnes PU College in the city.
Udupi district student Ucchila's Fatima Fazeela, a PU student, has complained to PU department officer, police commissioner and to the assistant district commissioner, saying that she had passed the first PU exam with good marks in the previous year. "I had pursued education in the first year by wearing scarf. When I went to take the admission for PU II, the principal told that he would be able to give me the admission for second PU if I come without hijab," she added.
"When my parents asked the principal to give the reason in writing, he simply instructed to hand over the Transfer Certificate. I am unable to continue my education. Justice must be given to me," Fatima demanded.

2nd bomb threat in 36 hours triggers security sweep at Kanpur Railway Station; no explosives found
Kanpur (PTI): A bomb threat for the second time within 36 hours triggered a massive security operation at Kanpur Central Railway Station on Friday evening, though extensive searches later found no suspicious object, police said.
An emergency call was received at the 112 control room around 7 pm, warning that the railway station would be blown up, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Satyajeet Gupta.
The alert prompted an immediate high-security response, with senior police and administrative officials, heavy police force, the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS), anti-sabotage check teams, and dog squads rushing to the station, he added.

Police and security teams conducted intensive checks across all platforms, circulating areas, waiting halls, parcel offices, and parking zones to rule out any threat.
All suspicious items were examined, and passenger movement was closely monitored during the operation. No explosive material or objectionable object was found, the official said.
This was the second bomb scare at the station in less than 36 hours. A similar threat call had been made on Thursday at around 8.30 am, leading to a full-scale security check.
During the investigation into Friday's call, police traced the phone number to a man identified as Anil. During questioning, he told officers that his mobile phone had been missing since February 24, raising suspicion that the threat may have been issued using the lost device, Gupta told mediapersons.
Police are analysing call detail records and scanning CCTV camera footage to identify the actual caller, he said.
