Advocate Subhash Jha links Harsha Murder Case to Hijab row agitations in HC during Hijab hearing
Says organisations like SIO, PFI, Jamat e Islami, are funded by Saudi universities to Islamize India
Court says "We cannot go on presumptions"
Bengaluru: Senior Counsel Subhash Jha on Friday said organisations like Popular Front of India(PFI), Campus Front of India (CFI), Students Islamic Organisation of India (SIO), and Jamat e Islam (JIH) are funded by Saudi universities to Islamize India.
During the hearing of the Hijab row on Friday, Jha also linked the recent murder of Hindutva activist Harsha in Shivamogga to agitations related to the Hijab row.
Jha was seeking CBI/NIA probe into the agitations in Hijab row. The Chief Justice of Karnataka HC asked Jha if he has any material showing extraneous elements so that the court can consider his petition.
“PFI, Campus Front, SIO, Jamaat E Islami which has been funded by Saudi universities to Islamize India. If there is material showing involvement of these organisations, the answer is not difficult to fathom.” Jha replied.
He further added “An agitation of this magnitude cannot be orchestrated overnight. This cannot be turn out of blue. There are photographs showing the girls were not wearing hijab earlier. Suddenly petitions are filed one after another, senior lawyers across the country are engaged.”
He then linked the Harsha Murder to the agitations and added “One young boy Harsha was killed and I am informed CFI is involved in the brutal murder.”
The CJ then replied “Investigation is pending. We cannot presume. We cannot go on presumptions. Have you tried to collect material that there are people behind the agitation? You have any material.”
“Attendant circumstances indicate that there is more to it than meets the eye. Prima facie credible information is only necessary to set criminal law into motion. Court may call for a report from Union of India.” Jha told the court.
The CJ told Jha that they will consider it and had already called for a report from the government.

NEET student hangs self in Rajasthan's Sikar
Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.
According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.
He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.
Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.
He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.
His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.
The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.
The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.
Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
