Principal of MDDM College Prof (Dr) Kanupriya said, "The examination was going on in the college and many girl students were sitting in the examination hall carrying mobiles. After this the teachers asked students to deposit the mobile and started conducting the search. Meanwhile, a student refused this and came out of the examination hall in a rage".

"Neither the centre superintendent nor the student made any complaints to her regarding the whole matter. On the contrary, giving a religious form to the whole matter, the students tried to create a controversy by linking it with religion, which is quite embarrassing," said the principal. Further details in the matter are awaited.
