Scarf Row: District administration instructed to take proper action; Minister Khader
Mangaluru: Minister UT Khader has said that the district administration has been instructed to take appropriate action over scarf controversy that is taking place from past one week at St Agnes College.
He was responding to a query after attending a meeting at the DC's office on Saturday. St. Agnes is an institute which has the good reputation not only in the country but also at international level. There is no need for the Organisations that are not related to the college to interfere in the scarf issue. No need to stigmatise the institution. It should be addressed by the college management, girls, and parents, "Khader said.
“This is a sensitive issue. I directed the district administration to call the concerned people and discuss with them before any dispute. I would intervene if the issue is not solved this way,” Khader said.
The district administration has to decide whether to take legal action against the organizations involved in this matter or not, Minister Khader added.

According to the police, Mallikarjuna had failed the PSI examination twice and later falsely projected himself as a PSI. He allegedly conducted photo shoots in his hometown, Siraguppa, wearing a police uniform, baton, cap, and shoes, claiming to be serving as a PSI in Bengaluru.
On December 7, the four accused allegedly went to the house of Naveen in the Vidyaranyapura limits, threatened him with a stick and an iron rod, and claimed they had information that he was selling ganja. Under the pretext of searching, they allegedly extorted ₹87,000 through bank transfer, ₹53,000 in cash kept in the house, and ₹2,000 from his wallet.
Following Naveen’s complaint, Vidyaranyapura police registered a case and launched an operation, leading to the arrest of all four accused. Police have seized ₹45,000 in cash and the car used to commit the crime.
