Sagar

The Dr Harisingh Gour University, also called the Sagar University in Madhya Pradesh has ordered a probe after a video surfaced where a girl was purportedly seen offering namaz in the university premises.

Following the controversy, the University has requested the students not to perform religious acts on the premises of the educational institution.

"We have taken cognizance of the video and have notified a committee to probe the matter. We have also directed all students that since this is a central university and all religious acts should be done in personal premises or religious places," said Neelima Gupta, Vice-Chancellor, Dr Harisingh Gour University.

Some organizations complained about the said act to the university administration after the video went viral.

This comes days after the Karnataka High Court banned hijab in educational institutions of Karnataka.
