Bengaluru: Police officials denied permission to a group of people who had called for a protest in Freedom Park in the City to condemn the Karnataka High Court’s decision on the hijab ban.

According to sources, park officials have denied people entry to the park’s premises.

The authorities denied permission for the protest after hearing that the petitioner students were likely to participate in it. This would be a violation of the law because the case is still sub-judice before the Supreme Court.
