The Hayathnagar police booked a teacher and the principal of Zee School in Hayathnagar for asking two students to remove their headscarves when on school premises.
According the complaint, received from a Class 10 student on Friday night, she and her friend, a Class IV student, wore headscarves on June 22 in adherence to their religious beliefs but the staff asked them to remove the headscarves.
“Around noon, one of the schoolteachers asked them about their scarves and if they had the principal’s permission to wear them. They were then asked to take them off, citing that they did not have permission to wear them in the school, to which the students said that it was their right,” said Inspector M. Venkateswarlu.
