Ranchi: A professor of
St Xavier's College was arrested here Saturday after members of
the Muslim community demonstrated against him for removing a
female student's veil, police said.
Father Imframe Bage had removed the veil of Neha Parveen, who was
participating in the student protests against fee hikes in the
college campus Friday, a police officer said.
Bage, while trying to pacify the students, wanted to ascertain the
identity of the students and removed Neha's veil.
Members of the Muslim community demonstrated at different places
in Ranchi Saturday, blocking roads and attacking shops. Protesters
also burnt tyres at two places.
Commuters faced difficulties as the roads were blocked at four
busy areas.
Police resorted to baton charge to disperse the demonstrators at
one place.
