Indore/Bhopal: Days after muslim students were reportedly forced to write exam outside examination hall at an educational institution in Indore, Congress MLA Arif Masood wrote to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Thursday seeking action in the matter.

Masood, an MLA from the Central region of Bhopal, wrote that a Bengali school located at Naulakha in Indore has been made a centre for the 12th class examination. This examination centre is also for the students of Islamia Karimiya School.

In the examination held on June 9, students of Islamia Karimiya School were not allowed to enter the examination centre.
