Bidar: Student alleges discrimination over sacred thread at Karnataka CET centre, principal suspended

The principal and a staff member of Sai Spoorthi PU College in Bidar have been suspended after a student alleged he was barred from appearing for the Common Entrance Test (CET) unless he removed his Janeu, a sacred thread worn by some Hindu communities. The incident, which took place on April 17, has triggered sharp reactions from the student’s family and political leaders, with calls for a re-examination and questions raised over the conduct of exam personnel at CET centres across Karnataka.
