According to the information received, this threat was given by an unknown Muslim person. The Muslim man says in his threat, “If you are not allowed to wear hijab in college next time, I will kill you, cut you into pieces, put them in a plastic bag, and throw it away.” This incident is of Maudgal College of Karnataka, where the principal of the college was openly threatened.

A user writes, They will not go to court, but they will take direct action; that is what they are best at.

Another user writes These are the weaknesses of the Indian government. They should be brought under the law as soon as possible.

Another user wrote I request the principal to immediately expel all the girls wearing hijab from the school and college. No need to tolerate so much; expel them directly; no apology is needed. Teach your girls in your madrasa? Will the Hindu principal tolerate everyone’s threats?? Not at all.
