The Muslim students are given permission for namaz on Fridays during the b breaks but they are never allowed to perform namaz in the school campus. Girijeswari Devi said that the headmistress was suspended after there are no religious prayers allowed in the government schools.

Karnataka Education Minister B C Nagesh ordered an investigation and he asked the teachers and officials not to repeat such incidents in the future.
