The principal of a private school in South Goa was suspended following a police complaint claiming that he allegedly took students to a mosque for a workshop and forced them to wear hijab and perform other religious rituals.
The "educational workshop" was conducted on Saturday wherein students were taken to a mosque in Dabolim on the invitation of the Student Islamic Organisation of India (SIO). However, members of Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) lodged a police complaint against the school principal for “supporting anti-national activities”, claiming that the said workshop had been organised on the invite of an organisation affiliated to banned Popular Front of India.
