Shivamogga, DHNS: A group of students attacked a student when the latter refused to remove the saffron shawl on the corridors of the government degree college here on Monday.
According to the college authorities, Sharath, a first-year BBM student, stepped into the college around 9 am wearing saffron shawl in protest against girls wearing burqas in classrooms.
Noticing this, Muslim students of second year BBM asked him to remove the shawl. But Sharath refused to remove it and demanded that girls remove burqas in classrooms.

It is said Sharath sustained minor injuries.
Six students - Syed Ahmed, Faizullah Baig, Irshad, Sharath, Satish and Vinay - have been arrested in connection with the incident.
