In her statement, the student claims that she was asked by a senior police officer to leave the auditorium before the start of the program. She was allowed to visit the auditorium only after the President left. The program of giving certificates to the students was continued even after the President left. The student said that she did not know the real reason why she was asked by the police officer to go out. But she has come to know that when the other students present asked her the reason, she said that she is wearing a hijab maybe because of this. This could be the reason, but nobody said this in front of me.
